Preserving through slow centuries and gray
The human remnant for the hope eterne.

Nor Time's insidious tooth gnaw quite away,
Became a shrine of virtues, where might pray
The latest sons, and of their fathers learn.
But we, grown wiser, plant a family tree.

Content to trace a noble pedigree
Unapt to urn a rich and high renown;
Content to dream of knights armed cap-a-pie.

AUTHOR'S PREFACE.
I VENTURE the assertion that thus far no antidote has been discovered for the
cure of the so-called "genealogical fever." My friends tell me I have it in an
aggravated form and it would seem so. Last year I published the Whitney
Genealogy, a volume of 700 pages, and now present "The Fiske Family." I have
been greatly assisted in my work by Bond's VVatertown and the volume compiled
by Rev. Albert A. Fiske of Austin, 111., on the Amherst, N. H., Fiskes. The family
is noted for its strong religious proclivities inherited from its English ancestors,
who on account of their Puritanic belief, were obliged to tiee from tlieir native land
or be beheaded or burnt at the stake at the pleasure of their fanatical associates.
One of the emigrant ancestors — a graduate of Immanuel College and an eminent
divine — was secreted in a wood-pile for nearly a year and finally escaped to America
in disguise, here to become one of the ablest preachers; and as Cotton Mather
said, "Did he shine in the golden candlestick of Chelmsford, a plain, but an able,
powerful and useful preacher of the Gospel." But few of the early New England
families can boast of as many descendants who were in the various professions as
the Fiske family.
Until this publication the many emigrant ancestors of the Fiskes have not been
connected in any one publication. The matter has been arranged in the same manner
as my previous publication.s, like the Register issued by the New England Historic-
Genealogical Society. It is the simplest, most comprehensive and the best of
plan yet devised. "T. p- ,i^j ."i-v-J'fTT"
A number of abbreviations win be founa in the book of which %e following
are explanations: ae., aged; abt., about; dau., daughter; dec'd, deceased; res.,
resides or resided, residence; w., wife; wid., widow and widower; yr., year; n. f. k.,
nothing further known; s. p., sine prole (without issue). There are a number of
other abbreviations of such common use that their meaning will be readily under-
stood. A name in parenthesis thus: Anna Fisk, dau. of Robert and Sybil
(Gould) Fiske, indicates the maiden name of the mother. An interrogation point
implies doubt or want of absolute certainty. Birthplaces of the children are not
always given, but can be ascertained by reference to the residence of the parents
which is always given. I wish to return thanks to all those who so generously
furnished the requested information. If all had responded a number of the lines
would be more complete. Thanks are especially due, Mrs. Silas A. Pierce, Grafton,
Mass.; Miss Lou M. Pierce, Worcester, Mass.; F. L. Ora of Chicago, 111.; Prof.
John Fiske, Cambridge, Mass.; Col. Francis S. Fiske of Boston; Hon. Joseph
Fiske of Wellesley Farms, Mass.; Rev. A. A. Fiske and others who rendered
valuable aid and assistance.
It is the sincere wish of the writer that the descendants of the Fiskes will
take as much pleasure in perusing these pages as I did in compiling them.
Very truly,
Chicago, July 30, 1896.
FISKE GENEALOGY.
THE FIRST FISK.
The family of Fiske flourished for a very long period in England, in the County
of Suffolk. So early as the eighth year of the reign of King John, A. D. 1208, we
find the name of Daniel Fisc of Laxfield appended to a document issued by the
King, confirming a grant of land in Digneveton Park, made by the Duke of
Loraine to the men of Laxfield. The original is in the Public Record office in Lon-
don and is dated May i, 1208. The following is a copy:

Confirmation by King John, May i, 1208, to the men of Laxfield of land in the
Park of Digneveton, granted by the Duke of Loraine. The following are the
names of those to whom the grant was made:
Robert Garenoise, Eustice Percario, Henry de la Hose, Walter de Holoc,
William son of Robert, William Daniel, Jeffrey Daniel and Daniel their brother,
Daniel Cuppario, Brithmaro, son of Brithwalden, Stephen Proest, Stephen Archer,
Eustace son of Phillip, Melvine wife of Roger Gadermod, Picot son of William,
Bernard son of Roger, Edmund son of Robert, Jordan son of Robert, William
son of Gilbert, Robert son of Brithmar, Simon son of Edric, William Odonis,
Godfrey and Herbert, Robert son of Jeffrey, Osbert a clerk, Ralph a clerk, Hade-
brand Haiward, Robert son of William, Simon son of Turstan, Brithmar son of
Godwin, Roger Haiward, Richard Haddoc, Reignald son of Godwin, and Robert
and Daniel his brothers, John Emelin, Johnson of Roger, William Wudewell,
Roger Crespip, Henry son of Ade, Roger Hunne, Matilda wife of Gilbert, Ernest
de Radbrooke, and Robert his brother, Gerald son of Adwin and DANIEL FISC.
ORIGIN OF THE NAME FISKE.
The name Fisk is simply an older form of Fish. In Anglo-Saxon times the
termination sh was regularly sounded hard, like sk. The breakfasting Engliscman
of those days ate his fisc from a disc. The name is one of a large class of appella-
tives taken from the animal world, such as Herring, Salmon, Pike, Crabb, Tench,
Spratt, Peacock, Swan, Drake, Crane, Hawke, Bird, Lyon, Hart, Fox, Bull, Lamb,
Kidd, Cheever (goat), Todd (fox), Pmxell (piggy). Hare, Colt, Palfrey, etc.
The origin of this class of surnames is not perfectly clear. The largest and
most familiar groups of surnames are either (i) patronymics, such as Johnson,
Jones, Wilson, etc. ; or (2) names of villages and estates, such as Washington,
Frothingham (a corruption of Fotheringham), Greenough (green field), Holmes
(meadow), Stanley (stony pasture), etc.; or (3) names descriptive of occupation
or social position, such as Mason, Carpenter, Franklin (country squire). Baker
and its feminine Baxter, Thatcher and Thaxter, Weaver and Webster, Draper,
Smith, Fletcher (arrow-maker). Chapman (merchant). Cooper, Butler, Cartwright,
Sargent. Waterman, Sawyer, Chandler, Bishoo. Abbot, Clark, Constable, Spencer
(steward) Grosvenor (chief huntsman). Woodward (forest-keeper), Youmans
(yeoman), etc.
The earliest use of family names in England was about the beginning of the
eleventh century. Long before that time, indeed, clan names were common, and
such were always patronymics, e. g., Fotherings, the descendants of Fother; Beor-
mings, the descendants of Beorm; Icklings, the descendants of Ickel. At the time
of the Anglo-Saxon conquest of Britain (fifth and sixth centuries) it was customary
FISKE GENEALOGY.
for a clan to settle in a stockaded village by itself, and all English towns whose
names end in ham or ton, preceded by ing, were originally the abodes of single
clans; e. g., Birmingham, home of the children of Beorm; Icklington, town of
the children of Ickel. Besides these general clan names no others were in use
except individual names, such as Alfred or Edith.
The use of family names, beginning in the eleventh century, increased slowly.
It was not until the fifteenth century that such names became nearly universal, and
also stationary. At first they were shifting in usage. Thus, the same man might
be called Henry Wilson, because his father was named William, or Henry Froth-
ingham, because he lived at the village of Fotheringham, or Henry Draper, because
of his occupation. If the son of this Henry were named Robert, and were any
kind of a worker in metals, from an armourer to a blacksmith, he might be known
as Robert Harrison or Robert Smith. Surnames had not ceased to fluctuate in this
way until the fifteenth century, and it was not until late in the sixteenth that more
importance began to be attached to the family surname than to the individual
baptismal name. It appears, therefore, that in tracing back the Fiske genealogy
into the fourteenth century, we are approaching the time at which difficulty must
arise from fluctuations of surname. Thus the paternal grandfather of David Fiske
might have been called David Johnson, if John were his father's name, or David
Franklin, if he were a country squire. In the thirteenth century we should be
quite likely to encounter such confusion and to find the helpfulness of surnames in
tracing genealogies vastly diminished.
Surnames derived from estates or localities seem to have been the first to
become stationary, and next after them the surnames derived from trade or office,
since sons have so commonly followed their fathers in business. The class of
names to which Fiske belongs is certainly quite difl'erent in origin from the three
great classes above mentioned. What, then, was its origin? Why should a man
be called Wolf, or Heron, or Pike?
We are at first struck with the fact that barbarians commonly use such names,
both for individuals and for clans. Such individual names as Grey Wolf or Yel-
low Raccoon often owe their origin to some personal peculiarity or to some
irrecoverable incident. Among American Indians, and in general among bar-
barians all over the world, the clans are apt to have such names as Wolf,
Eagle, Salmon, Turtle, etc.; the totem, or symbol of the Wolf clan, the idol or
image of its tutelar deity, is likely to be a rude image of a wolf or wolf's head;
and in many cases the clan is supposed to have had a wolf for its first ancestor.
Shall we say, then, that animal surnames in modern English are survivals of
ancient heathen clan-names? Are Fiskes descended from a Fish clan among
the East Angles? To this view there seems to be a serious objection. The
conversion of our English forefathers from heathenism to Christianity was com-
pleted in the seventh century, at least four hundred years before the earliest use
of surnames in England. The old clan system, moreover, had crumbled to
pieces long before the Norman Conquest. It is not likely, therefore, that habits
of naming characteristic of the old heathen clans could have persisted long enough
to give rise to a whole class of surnames so late as the eleventh and twelfth
centuries.
Between the ancient systems of totem devices and the heraldry of the Middle
Ages there were many analogies and doubtless some points of connection; though,
on the whole, the former must be regarded as the predecessor of the latter,
not as its ancestor. The mediaeval heraldry was growing up in England during
the eleventh and twelfth centuries, and it made an extensive use of conven-
tionalized heads of familiar animals, not merely lions, wolves, and bulls, but
many kinds of bird and fish, as well as such imaginary creatures as dragons,
griffins, and cockatrices. For example, Lucy is the heraldic name for pike,
and the shield of the De Lucy family bears on a field gules three lucies or. From
this emblem the family surname is likely to have arisen, just as Geofifrey
Plantagenet was so called from the sprig of broom or genesta plant worn in
his helmet. The familiar name of Pike, as well as that of the Puritan magistrate,
Sir Thomas Lucy, who arrested Shakespeare for poaching, has probably come
from the heraldic use of pikes or lucies.
The explanation which serves for one of this class of animal surnames might
perhaps serve for all: but there is another point to be considered. Heraldic
devices were used not only upon banners and coats-of-arms, but also upon
FISKE GENEALOGY.
signboards, not merely of inns but oi other places of business. In days when
reading and writing were not common accomplishments, such devices were
in general use, and they survived down to a recent time. For tavern signs
they are not yet extinct. In old times, as often at the present day in Europe,
the shop and the homestead were usually contained in the same building.
Thus in the seventeenth century the father of John Milton, who w-as a solicitor,
notary public, and law-stationer, had his office and his home ,in a certain house
known as the Spread Eagle, in Bread Street, 'Cheapside. Over the front door was
the figure of an eagle with outstretched wings. For four or five centuries before
Milton's time, in going through any town, you would have passed by a succession
of such signs of hawks, cranes, dolphins, salmon, lambs, and bulls, thus finding
your way to the particular shop and homestead of which you were in quest.
The principle upon which the signs were chosen is not always obvious. Some-
times a family name may have suggested the sign, as if a man named Crow
were to paint a black crow over his door; but in early times the sign un-
doubtedly preceded and suggested the name. The family which dwelt at the sign
of the crow came to be called Crow, in the same way that a family which
dwelt at a country house called Greenough or Greenhalge (green field) canie
to be called by the name of the house.
There is nothing in the Fiske coat-of-arnis, as used in the last three or four
centuries, to suggest fishes or any occupation associated therewith. But if the
name goes back into the twelfth century, as quite possibly it may, there is a
chance that it may have been connected with some heraldic fish emblem since
disused. It is quite as likely to have its origin in a sign. As I said above, it
is difficult to determine with confidence the precise origin of names of this class.
The reader may be interested in the coincidence that Laxfield, the name of
the parish where our Fiske forefathers dwelt for at least three centuries, means
"salmon field." I think the name has been applied to the place for more
than a thousand years, but I have no theory as to its origin. The name Stad-
haugh (sometimes incorrectly written Stradhaugh) is compounded of stead and haugh.
The former means station or home, so that the word "homestead" is a case
of tautology. A haugh was a cleared field in the days when much of England
was covered with virgin forest. Stadhaugh is thus equivalent to "home in a
cleared field."
What Prof. Rasmiis B. Anderson says:
Prof. Rasmus B. Anderson of Madison, Wis., ex-minister to Denmark, in
writing sends the following:
Madison, Sept. 19, 1896.
Col. Fred Pierce, Chicago, 111.
My Dear Sir:— I have your favor of the 13th inst., in regard to the name of
"Fisk." Fisk means in Norwegian "fish" and of course the name may be of
Scandinavian origin. I am pretty familiar with Scandinavian nomenclature, but I
cannot recall any Dane, Swede or Norwegian by that name."
Dr. Henry Mortimer Fiske, a native of Sturbridge, residing in San Francisco,
writing in September, 1895, says: "The name for long centuries back was Fiske.
It is a Scandinavian name and is as common in Denmark and Sweden as Smith is
here. The meaning of the name is 'fish' and all Scandinavians call a fish, fiske. The
Danes have in Greenland a harbor called Fiskenares, and also one in the island of
St. Thomas, one of the West Indies, of the same name Fiskenares, meaning in
English fish harbor. I have also an old book published in London in 1760, called
the young man's book of knowledge, which is dedicated to the Rev. James Fiske,
a rectdS^ of the church of England. In an old book, a history of one of the counties
of England, speaking of one of the civil wars there the name of lord or viscount
Fiske is there mentioned as one of the civil magistrates. The book is one of the
first printed and is nearly 300 years old. In both Sweden and Denmark the name
is always spelt Fiske. I have satisfied myself the name was introduced into
England at the time of the Danish invasion. I am further satisfied that the 'e' was
left ol¥ in England more for the convenience of spelling on the part of our fore-
FISKE GENEALOGY.
fathers than any other cause, as those old fellows, even the most learned, had a
habit of phonetic spelling in many instances a desire to cut things short."
The late Miss Fidelia Fisk of Ooroomeyah, Persia, a veteran missionary, in-
formed the writer of this sketch that "there seemed to be some connection between
the name and the word 'fiscal.' Somewhere she had been told that, before the
appearance of the family name, 'the fisk' was one of the appointed public officers.
Much of the revenue of those days was collected in dried fish, and Fisk, or Fiske,
is the plural of fish in the Danish language. Quintals of fish were at that time used
as currency even.
"A ministerial crank, whom I came upon once in traveling, claimed that 'there
were few of the family names in N. E. that could not be traced back to the Greek! '
Whereupon I replied, 'Let me hear you take my name over that course.' Without
hesitation he replied, 'Your name came by way of Denmark, did it not? It is
probably all one with Fish. Now, in the Greek, fish is ichtheus. Prefix the
digamma and you have Fichtheus. Drop the termination, and you have Fich, or
Fisch, or Fische, which would very soon be worn down to Fish, or Fiske-Fisk.' "
In reading a valuable article from Rev. Wm. H. Grififis, on the "Influence of
the Netherlands upon the N. E. Emigrants," I found a statement to the efifect that
"many of the emigrants from Suffolk County, England, to Holland, in returning to
England, or coming over to America, were found to have shortened their names
to a monosyllable. Fisher thus became Fish."
This led to a brief correspondence, in the beginning of which that stalwart
defender of the rights and honors of the Dutch expressed his confidence, that "the
name of Fiske-Fisk was among those mentioned in the early literature of the
Netherlands." Search, however, only discovered a "Fisker" in Holland, who came
from and returned to England, but neither in England nor America was the name
of Fisker found thereafter, but the name of Fiske-Fisk is there among the emi-
grants before 1640.
It only adds to the plausibility of this theory to remember that almost every-
one of the emigrant Fiske-Fisk name had a trade which must have been originally
learned in Holland — weaver, tanner, spinner, dyer, etc.
Webster's Dictionary has this to say of the name: Fisk (fisk) verb irrelevant
(ch. Swedish fjeska, to bustle about), to run about; to frisk; to whisk. "He fisks
abroad and stirreth up erroneous opinions." — Latimer.
Fisk, fisc, fiskin, fysk (Swedish fjeska). "What frek of thy folde fisketh thus

LORD OF THE MANOR OF STADHAUGH.
Symond Fiske, Lord of the Manor of Stadhaugh, held lands in Laxfield
Parish, and was probably grandson * of Daniel Fisc, before mentioned. He
bore for his arms, chequey, argent and gules, upon a pale, sable, three mullets
pierced, or. These arms, with a crest added, were confined to Prof. Nicholas
Fiske, professor in Physic, of Stadhaugh, in Laxfield.
In 1633 a charter of confirmation was issued from Herald's College. It
acknowledges the use of the arms by a:h ancestor to all the emigrants.
To all and singular persons to whom these presents shall come, Wm. Segar,
Knight, Garter Principall, King of Arms of Englishmen, sendeth his due com-
mendations and greeting in our Lord God everlasting. Know yea that anciently

FISKE WILLS IN SUFFOLK COUNTY, ENGLAND.
In 1854 Col. Francis S. Fiske, of Keene, N. H., now a resident of Boston, Mass.,
and United States Commissioner, employed the well known American genealogist
and antiquarian, Horatio G. Somerby, then residing in Camden Square, London,
to thoroughly inspect and copj' from the records in the various parishes in Suffolk
County, England. He found a mass of very valuable data relating to the English
ancestors of the American Fiskes from 1462 to 1635.
Mr. Somerby first visited the several Suffolk parishes where he knew the Fiskes
had resided and made extracts from the parish registers which were of sufficient
antiquity to suit his purpose. The registers of South Elmham and Weybread,
however, in one of which he expected to find the baptism of one of the American
emigrants, did not date back far enough to give it. He next consulted some of
the wills of the early Fiskes and found sufficient to justify him in the belief that
Nathan Fiske, of Watertovvn, Massachusetts Colony, was the eighth in descent
from the first Simon of Laxfield, through Robert, of St. James, South Elmham,
who was his great-grandfather. Simon was Lord of the Manor of Stadhaugh, in
Laxfield, Suffolk County, England, in the time of Henry the Sixth.
Between the years 1462 and 1635 he found some fifty wills of Fiskes proved
in Suffolk County, all of the same family, abstracts of which were furnished and
are inserted in their proper places, others of this family are as follows:

RECOLLECTIONS OF A VISIT TO LAXFIELD.
(By Isabella H. Fiske, of Wellesley Farms, Mass.)
To the member of the family who is interested in its early history, and is
taking a trip in England there will be hardly anything more fruitful of enjoyment
than turning aside a little from the beaten track and visiting his ancestral home
of Laxfield, in Suffolk, from which the American branch of the Fiskes emigrated.
The town and its vicinity make an interesting study. The nearest railroad
town, and one with which the Fiskes themselves were early identified, is Framling-
ham, some eight miles distant, and with twenty-five hundred inhabitants. The
town itself claims through tradition to date from the time of Redwald, king of the
East Angles. It is certainly as early as the Norman period, as the structure of its
castle shows.
This is a fine old ruin, one of the largest in England, covering over an acre
of ground, with its thick walls, arched gateway, and rising towers. It has a most
interesting history, having been held since the earliest records till through the
thirteenth century by the baronial family of the Bigods, these being bestowed by
Edward I. upon his son Thomas, of Brotherton, and still later coming into the
hands of the Mowbrays and Howards; families later represented by the earls and
FISKE GENEALOGY. 9
dukes of Norfolk. It was at one time surrendered into the hands of John, and
again, much later, was seized by the crown and became the residence of Queen
Mary of England, being afterwards restored to the Howards by James I. Coming,
in the seventeenth century, through purchase, into the hands of Sir Robert
Hitcham, it was considerably dismantled, and was finally, on the hard terms of its
■entire demolishment given over by his will into the possession of Pembroke Col-
lege, Cambridge.
There is also in Framlingham, the fine old church of St. Michael's, dating in
part from the thirteenth century, and harboring as its chief treasure the altar
tombs of the Howards; the most noted among whom are the two earls of Surrey,
one victor of Flodden field, the other, the gifted poet of the Tudor era, and a
victim of Henry VII.
Modern Framlingham is quiet enough, boasting as its chief interest, the Albert
Memorial College, a large school for boys. It still keeps its antiquarian interest
as central, however.
The name of Fiske is by no means an unknown one here. It may be found
upon the stones in St. Michael's churchyard, which is comparatively recent, occur-
ring about half a dozen times. It is to be seen in the town records also, and over
shop doors and the like, occasionally. In one instance, however, the proprietor —
whose name was Fisk — of one of the stores there, on being interviewed in regard
to his family was unfortunately unable to trace back his lineage even so far
as his own grandfather. But we may feel ourselves quite justified in identifying the
early history of the family with that of the town in all the stirring scenes that were
witnessed there.
In Framlingham we have a strong recollection of the past. In Laxfield we
have the past itself, as something still present, not yet outgrown. It is all de-
lightfully typical of England. In the first place, we have the real English coun-
try. We have behind us all thought of time and press of circumstances, and
stroll leisurely along the winding lanes, shut in by green hedgerows from the
sloping hillsides where the sheep and cattle graze peacefully. We have the coun-
try life of centuries ago, too. It is all just as it was when, as an old play tells
us: "Prince Charlie came riding down to hunt the deer at Laxfield with his men,"
or when Cromwell and his men came riding along that way on their destructive
mission.
Come they did, most probably along this route, for the little church at Laxfield
bears traces of vandal hands, which marked the overzeal of the Roundheads. As
we enter the little town, of about five hundred inhabitants, the whole atmosphere
is delightful, this stepping out of the whirl of traffic, the rush of modern life, and
breathing this quieter air, with its suggestions of lavender and musk, its folds
and creases of the past still lingering. The great charm is the quaint unconscious-
ness of it all. The centuries have slipped by unnoted, and the old church still
waits for the awakening touch that seems as far away as ever. The handful of
houses grouped around it are true English country homes. The rectory one would
wish particularly to visit; a charming little place, which, with its bower of green and
rosevines and suggestions of perpetual summer, has all the romance and quaint-
ness of the setting of the "Vicar of Wakefield." The rector seems the Vicar
■himself, gray and gentle as he is; a most hospitable man, who keeps up from
"his little retreat with the movement of the world's forces, yet with a contemplative,
rather than an active interest.
We have a strong sense of ownership in this ancestral home of ours as we
linger along its shaded street, on our way to the churchyard. This grows upon us as
we find upon the mossgrown stones half obliterated epitaphs, containing the
familiar family name. It is something set off from the thoroughfare of the cease-
less throng of tourists; a little by-way in which we can take an especial pride,
and something as deserving of study as many a better known object of attention.
As we enter the exquisite little church, we note the rich, time-darkened carv-
ing, the finely executed stone-work of the fourteenth century, and the later Jacobin
influence in the work. It is all genuine from the quaint baptismal font within, to
the square tower without, rising amid the trees.
In the parish register, which is hardly ever opened, the records begin with
the sixteenth century and the name of an Elizabeth Fisk is found to be one of the
•first entries, in 1519. Thus the old register bears witness that the Fiskes were
10 FISKE GENEALOGY.
identified with the town at the earHest account, and suggests a far-stretching past
as a fertile field for the imagination.
The feeling of ownership culminates, of course, in visiting the old homestead,
Stadhaugh perhaps a mile distant. It is a fine old estate, with its hundreds of
acres still kept up and well stocked with sheep and cattle, and its traces of manor-
house dignity. Its quaintly arranged chambers, its rambling roominess, and low-
reaching rafters make an effective background for the bright laughter and merry
sport of the rosy cheeked English children in the family now occupying it. We
may look back here in imagination upon the environments of the Stadhaugh
Fiskes in the old days of Henry IV. and Henry VI., when they were persecuted
for their loyalty, and picture the lives of our own ancstors there to whose deeds
of highmindedness Cotton Mather has made stirring allusion, naming this very
estate of Stadhaugh as the scene of the events he has narrated to us. Surely the
old homestead, arousing as it does our pride and patriotism, is a fitting link in the
past and present of the family history.
Typical as Laxfield and its environs are, it is hard to describe even in detail
without seeming to generalize. The associations are of course of more immediate
interest than the objects themselves. Yet one gets a great deal of satisfaction, in
this particular instance at least, by going back to the haunts of his family's
childhood. If you can not do this in person, take down your Oliver Gold-
smith and read over again some of the descriptions of Wakefield and its vicar
You will hardly be far from the truth. If you can go, do. You will see no reason,
if you are a lover of freshness in quaintness, of the historic past, and of rural Eng-
land of today to regret having visited your family's early home, Laxfield.

THE MANOR OF STADHAUGH.
(Rev. Franklin Woodbury Fisk.)
Extracts from my notebook of travel, describing a visit made in July, 1872, to
the Manor of Stadhaugh, town of Laxfield, county of Suffolk, England, for several
generations in the possession of the Fisk family:
July 23, 1872, Laxfield. at "The Royal Oak" hotel. — Leaving Cambridge at 10
o'clock yesterday morning, I came by rail to Framlingham, the nearest station
to Laxfield, six miles distant. Calling on two brothers, Henry and George Fisk,
the first a glazier, and the other a shop-keeper, to see if I could learn anything
respecting their ancestry. I found that I could learn absolutely nothing except
that their father, many years before, came from the neighborhood of Laxfield.
I ordered dinner at "The Crown" hotel, at 5 o'clock, and meanwhile visited the
old castle, now in ruins, to which Queen Mary fied when Lady Jane Grey was
placed upon the throne. It must have been a very strong castle in its day. I
also visited the ancient church in which is the tomb of the celebrated poet, Henry
Howard, Earl of Surrey, beheaded by Henry VIII. After dinner I started ofif at
6 o'clock to walk to Laxfield. It was a sweltering day, and I had a hard walk,
though in many respects a pleasant one, reaching Laxfield about 8 o'clock. I
called at once on the rector of the church, Rev. John Dallas, a gentleman of some
60 years of age, who has been pastor of the church here twenty years. He received me
very courteously, and kindly offered to go with me in the morning to the old
church and inspect the records of the baptisms, marriages and deaths of persons
who had lived in the parish since the time of Queen Elizabeth, as the records did
not extend back of that date. After engaging lodgings at "The Royal Oak," I
called, at the suggestion of the rector, on an aged gentleman (Mr. Brightly), who
for many years has been an officer in the church, and has known the inhabitants
of the town for sixty years. He kindly gave me all the information about the
Fisk family he possessed, and said that there had been no one of that name living
in the town for the last twenty years.
FISKE GENEALOGY. H
Woodbridge, July 24. — After breakfast yesterday morning, I accompanied Rev.
Mr. Dallas and his accomplished daughter to the venerable church edifice, with
its ancient Norman tower. We opened the rusty iron chest, took from it the old
records, and pored over them for hours, till 12 o'clock, trying to decipher the
almost hieroglyphic characters of the writing. We turned first to the records of
baptisms, which we found did not extend back of 1579, and these records, as nearly
as we could make them out, were as follows. (There is copied into my notebook
a list of twenty-seven baptisms extending from the year 1579 to the year 1651,
which was as far as I copied.) The name Fisk stands the second one of the names
on these records, and is almost uniformly spelled for some years, "Ffyske," but
when a new minister or clerk came to enter the name, he spelled it differently, and
often without the final "e." Indeed, in one or two instances the name seemed to have
been spelled differently in the same entry of a baptism, thus: "Mary Ffyske,
daughter of Nicholas Ffysk, was baptized the 8th day of Nov., 1581." After the
entry in the year 1514, the "y" in the name becomes changed into "i," thus: Ffiske
or Ffisk.
I noticed this record of a marriage: "Married, Henry Ffiske and Margarette
Smith, the 20th day of Sept., 1590."
I find that the "Studhaw" estate (or as it is indiiTerently spelled, "Studhaw,"
"Sudhaw," "Stadhaugh"), was in the possession of a Mr. John Smith, and I sus-
pect that he came into its possession through the marriage connection of the
Fisks and Smiths referred to above. This Mr. Smith appears to have been a man
of intelligent and benevolent views, as he willed the whole estate, consisting
of about 112 acres of excellent land, with good buildings, to the town of Laxfield
intrust, the income of which should be forever appropriated to the support of a
school for the training in the common branches of an English education, of forty
poor orphan boys of the town of Laxfield, or if necessary, of the county of
Suffolk, after wliich these boys were to be taught some useful trade. The be-
quest was made, I think, in 1718, and ever since the school has been doing this
noble work. It is under the care of seven trustees, of whom the Rev. John Dallas
is chairman. I visited the school and was much pleased with it.
I walked out with Mr. Dallas to the estate, lying about half a mile from the
village, and was politely received and hospitably entertained by the tenants, Mr.
Thomas Reed and wife, who showed me through the house, which must have
been quite a grand one in its day, though changed from age to age, not always,
as I think, for the better. In the garret of the house I saw fine old oak wainscoting
that generations ago adorned the lower rooms of the manor house. The biiilding
is of stone, of very ample dimensions on the ground, and has a very large kitchen,
and butter and cheese rooms, and has commodious outbuildings. The rent of the
estate is £170 a year. Mr. Reed's father and grandfather lived as tenants on the
estate, in all for ninety years. After spending a very pleasant hour at this de-
lightful house of my ancestors for several generations, I returned to the quamt
little village of Laxfield. and bidding "good-bye" to my kind friend, Mr. Dallas,
walked back to Framlingham, and taking a railway train to this place (Wood-
bridge), stopped here over night to call on Mr. Samuel Fisk and his two sons,
whom I found to be prosperous business men. The father had left Laxfield forty
years ago, and had established himself in Woodbridge, in the cabinet-making busi-
ness, in which he had been very successful.
VISIT TO FRAMLINGHAM, DENNINGTON AND
LAXFIELD.
(By Prof. John Fiske, of Cambridge.)
With regard to an article on the English Fiskes, I hardly think I know any-
thing which you do not know already, but with regard to the Manor House, I
can tell you briefly of a visit which I made there in June. 1880. 1 had been givmg
some lectures in London, and was going thence to Edinburgh to give a course of
lectures there. I stopped at Ipswich and passed a night at the Great White Horse
Inn. immortalized in "Pickwick Papers." Took the train next morning for the
quaint old market town of Framlingham. The English, by the way, do not pro-,
nounce that "1", and I suppose that our Framingham was named after it. At
12 FISKE GENEALOGY.
PVamlingham, my wife and I tooK a dog cart and drove through Dennington, where
Nicholas Fiske lived in the days of "Bloody Mary," to Laxfield, which is nine
miles from Framlingham, and almost within the salt smell of the German Ocean.
I felt very doubtful whether there would be anything to see at Laxfield more
than a meadow or potato patch, but it would be something to see even the site
which one's forefathers left when they came to New England. I inquired of a
man working on the road, and learned that the Manor House of Stadhaugh was
still standing, and that information on local history might be obtained from
Mr. Aldrich, the parish clerk. After a pleasant call at the house of this gentle-
man, I continued on my way until at the end of a very long hedgerow I saw the
quaint farmhouse known as Stadhaugh Manor. The present occupant, Mr.
Thomas Read, was standing at the gate. On my mentioning my name, he invited
us into tl;e dining-room, a long, low-studded room with large fire-place, tall clock
well stocked bookshelves, plants in the window, and all the appearance of com-
fort. I learned from Mr. Read that the house was built in the time of Henry
VHL, apparently at a season when window taxes were high. Fiskes had lived on
the spot since the time of Richard H., and how much earlier I do not know. They
came to America in such numbers that the name became nearly extinct in Suffolk.
The last Fiske of Stadhaugh died about 1675. The estate then passed into the
hands of John Smith, Esq., who died in 1715, leaving the Manor House and farm
of about three hundred acres to the Parish of Laxfield with a provision that the
income should be devoted to preparing poor boys for the University at Cam-
bridge. The place was leased by the parish to a family named Read on a ninety-
nine year lease, and at the expiration of that period, the lease was renewed for
another century.
My entertainer belonged to the sixth generation of Reads who had lived in
that house. He was a fine, tall, stately man, quick in mind and well informed,
very like the best type of New England deacon. He seemed interested in seeing a
descendant of the ancient Fiskes, and said that it was not often that he had such
visitors.
We called upon the vicar. Rev. William Mothersole, who said that we would
find on the floor of the parish church the names of some Fiske ancestors buried
beneath. The little parish church was built about the time of King Alfred, 1,000
years ago. The floor was covered with strips of a kind of hemp carpet, and on
raising them, there was a good deal of dust to be cleared away, and as my time was
limited, I gave up the search for Fiske graves. I, however, saw that of "John
Smith, Armiger."
The vicar's son, a bright boy of twelve, who was much interested in the
proceedings, took me to the village green where the one martyr of Laxfield was
burned in the evil days of Mary Tudor. This victim was the Rev. John Noyes, and
Fox, in his "Book of Martyrs," tells how his brother-in-law, Nicholas Fiske, of
Dennington, visited him the evening before his execution.
I believe there is nothing more of interest to be said about my visit. The
country at Laxfield and all about it has that finished, pastoral beauty so character-
istic of the English landscape.
ANCESTRAL AND HISTORICAL.
(By Rev. Albert A. Fiske.)
The Fiskes in America are descended from an ancient family of that name,
which for centuries and until a recent period, had its seat and manorial lands in
Laxfield, in the county of Suffolk, England. As early as 1422, one Symond Fiske
resided there as Lord of the Manor of Stadhaugh, and entitled by grant to coat
armour. Several of his descendants appear to have justly gained repute for piety
and education, both among churchmen and non-conformists, and numbers of them
during the protracted struggle of the Reformation, and especially in the days of
Queen Mary, endured severe persecutions on account of their staunch adherence
to Evangelical principles.
Robert Fiske, of Laxfield, son of Simon, and fourth in descent from Symond
Fiske, of the same, married Sibyl Gold, and had sons, William, Jeffrey, Thomas
FISKE GENEALOGY. 13
and Eliezer. These parents were the progenitors of all the Fiskes that settled in
New England, so far as known, before 1640. In considering their posterity here,
we must trace them as descended from two distinct groups, coming over about
the same time (1637), one group settling in Wenham, and the other in Watertown,
Mass. William Fiske, eldest son of Robert, married Ann Anstye, and had children,
John, Nathaniel (who died j^oung), Eunice and Hannah, the last of whom mar-
ried William Candler, and was the mother of Rev. Matthias Candler, whose manu-
scripts, now on file in the British Museum, furnish the records from which the early
history of the Fiskes in England have been compiled. John Fiske, the eldest son
of William, above, and grandson of Robert and Sibyl Fiske, married Ann, a
daughter of Robert Lantersee, and had children, John, William, Anne and Martha,
all of whom, with their mother, embarked for America in 1637. Their father had
died previously (in 1633), and during the passage the mother died also. The
two brothers, having married in England, settled with their families in Wenham,
then a village of Salem, Mass., about 1640. John, who had been already ordained
in the English Church, became a noted and influential minister in the colony, and
was settled as the first minister of the church in Wenham. Cotton Mather, in
that quaint volume entitled "Magnalia," makes honorable allusion to him, both
as scholar and preacher, and said that "like the beloved Luke, his praise was in
all the churches." His brother, William, became also a man of mark, filled various
public offices, was representative to the general court of Massachusetts, but died
in the prime of his powers and usefulness, under 40 years of age. Both were able
and useful men, were zealous Puritans in religion, and left descendants who per-
petuated their good name for several generations.
T~ About the same time that Rev. John and his brother established themselves
in Wenham, several of their relations became also emigrants to the colony. David
Fiske, of Watertown, who settled there with his son, David, and nephews, John and
Nathan; and Phinehas Fiske, of Wenham, who brought with him sons, James
(afterwards of Haverhill), John and Thomas — these two separate groups of families
were respectively descended from J^effrey Fiske and Thomas_Fiske, the third sons
of Robert and Sibyl, previously mentioned; ^heir cousin^TRev. John and William,
being descended, as we have already shown, from William Fiske, the first son of
the same. From these brothers and cousins, eight in all, who were thus early
colonized in the commonwealth, have sprung a numerous, widely scattered, and
very respectable posterity. Over one hundred and sixty of their number, bearing
the family name, are on the roll of college graduates, while very many of them
have variously attained distinction as divines, authors, scholars, and public men,
two having been prominent candidates for the Presidency of the United States.
There is not a university or collegiate institution in this land, which has not
had at some period a Fiske filling a prominent chair on its board of faculty,
while four of them have been elected to the presidency of such corporations.
And as to minisrers and deacons of churches, their number is alijiost beyond
enumeration. "
We will now consider more particularly the Wenham group of Fiskes. Rev.
John Fiske and family arrived in Cambridge, Mass., in 1637. There he engaged
for awhile in teaching school, and afterwards in Salem, where he conducted the
first grammar school with remarkable success, his pupils being able, it is said, to
conipose readily in Latin, verse or prose. In 1643 he removed to Wenham
(adjoining Salem), gathered a church, and became its first pastor, in 1644. and
continued such for more than twelve years. In 1655 he removed to the pastorate
of the church in Chelmsford, in which he continued till 1677, when he died at
the age of y6, leaving a family. Rev. John Fiske was twice married. His
first wife, after living with him about thirty-seven years, died in 1771. Such was
her remarkable knowledge of Scripture that she was called her husband's
concordance. She was the mother of his children.
Moses, only son of Rev. John Fiske that arrived to maturity, graduated at
Harvard College in 1662 — the first of the Fiske alumni in this country; was
licensed to preach in 1671, and ordained and settled over the church in Braintree
(now Quincy), Mass., the following year. He was a preacher of considerable
power and animation. Several of his sermons were published, and may be
found in the archives of the Massachusetts Historical Society. Rev. Mo:es Fiske
was twice married. His first wife was Sarah, a daughter of William Symmes, of
Charleston, whom he married in 1671. Of his fourteen children those that
14 FISKE GENEALOGY.
lived were named as follows: Mary, Sarah, Ann, Elizabeth, Moses, John, William,
Samuel. Mrs. Sarah, wife of Rev. Moses Fiske, died in 1692. In I700, Jan. 7,
he married Mrs. Quincey, a daughter of the distinguished Rev. Thomas Shepard.
By her he had, Shepard Fiske, born April 19, 1703; Margaret Fiske, born Dec. 15,'
1705. Shepard Fiske, youngest son of Rev. Closes Fiske, graduated at Harvard
College in 1721, and died a physician at Bridgewater, ^lass., in 1779. Mr. Fiske's
daughters, except the last, all married clergymen. Two of his sons also, John and
William, were clergymen. But the subsequent history of their brothers, Moses and
William, is not definitely known.
John Fiske, second son of Rev. Moses Fiske, of Braintree (Quincy), graduated
at Harvard College in 1702, preached awhile in Braintree Church, and was or-
dained pastor of a church in Killingly, Conn., October 19,1715; his brother-in-law,
Rev. Joseph Baxter, of Medfield, preaching the sermon. Here he remained
until 1741, when disafifection arising in the church, he was dismissed and retired
upon his large landed estate in Killingly, where he died in 1773, in the 89th year
of his age. He is reported to have been a good scholar, an able preacher, and wise
counselor. His wife was Abigail, a daughter of Rev. Nehemiah Hobart, of Newton,
Mass. Of his five children only one was a son, and he died in infancy.
Samuel Fiske, youngest son of Rev. Moses Fiske, of Braintree, graduated
at Harvard College in 1708 — where his name appears on the roll without the
vowel termination — and was ordained minister of the First Church, in Salem, Mass.,
in October, 1708. Says Bentley, in his memorial sermon: "Rev. Saniuel Fiske
was a man of eminent talents in the pulpit, of firm and persevering mind, and held
in high esteem until disaffection sprang up in his church from the ill-defined
discipline then existing in our churches. He was a preacher of real abilities,
but his high notions of church authority were repugnant to many persons, and
interfered with his usefulness. He was dismissed from the First Church, in 1735,
and accepted the charge of a new society established by his friends. He preached
the first centenary lecture of the First Church, August 6, 1729. The election
sermon delivered by him before the Governor and Legislature, in 1731, may be
reckoned as among the best. It was published and a copy is preserved among the
state archives. He was dismissed from the Third Church in 1745, when he
retired from the ministry. By wife, Anna Gerrish, he had five children, but only
one of his sons reached maturity, John, born May 6, 1744. Rev. Samuel Fiske died
in Salem, in 1770, at quite an advanced age.
John Fiske, only surviving son of Rev. Samuel Fiske, of Salem, engaged in
commercial pursuits and acquired property. At the time of the Revolution
he commanded the first vessel of war commissioned in the service. At the close of
the war, he was commissioned a Colonel, then a Brigadier, and finally a Major
General in the State Militia, which position he held until his death, in 1797. He
was a man of princely hospitality, of enterprising spirit, and of benevolent im-
pulses. He took great interest in the various religious and charitable movements
of the day, and contributed freely to their support. He was thrice married, but
left no male issue.
Peter Fiske, a grandson of Rev. Moses, of Quincy, married Sarah Perry, of
Grafton, Mass., November 15, 1758. Four of their children were there born, Moses,
Nathaniel, Peter, Sarah, John. Of these the eldest, Moses, graduated at Dart-
mouth College, in 1786; was licensed and preached awhile, but never ordained to
the pastorate. He was a tutor in Dartmouth College from 1788 to 1795, when he
removed to Helham, Tenn., and died there about 1842. He remained single until 50
years of age, and then reared a family of nine children. He ever manifested a
strong disapprobation of negro slavery, although living in the midst of slavery all
his days in the south. He was the author of several published works on slavery.
John Fiske, brother of above, graduated at Dartmouth College, in 1791, studied
theology with Rev. Dr. Lyman, of Hatfield, and was ordained to the ministry
at Hadley, Mass., in May, 1794. Preaching for awhile as an evangelist, he ac-
cepted a call to the church in New Braintree, and was installed pastor, in August,
1796. In 1809 he enjoyed with his church a remarkable revival, which was re-
peated in 1818, 1819, 1826, 1831 and 1842. The fruits of these awakenings were
numerous additions to the church. He preached his half century discourse
October 26, 1846, which was published. He took a deep interest in the cause
of education; was one of the ef^cient helpers in the building up of Amherst College,
and received the degree of D. D. from that institution in 1844. He continued
FISKE GENEALOGY. 15
to preach with the assistance of a colleague, until October, 1854. In March follow-
ing, he died in great peace, after a ministry of sixty-one years with the same
people. He made a fine figure in the pulpit, being tall, dignified, of serene and
intelligent countenance. He possessed a clear and well balanced mind, and a
general completeness of character seldom found. His pulpit efforts were marked
by eminent good sense and great appropriateness, especially in prayer. Sev-
eral of his discourses were published. Mr. Fiske married, in 1796, Elizabeth
Mellen, of Milford. They had children: John ]\I., Alary W., William, Sarah, Abby
and James. The youngest daughter married George Merriam, one of the pub-
lishers of Webster's Dictionary. William Fiske, son of Rev. ]Dr. John, was or-
dained to the ministry in 1865, and for years did good and efficient service among
the Freedmen.
William Fiske, Esq., who emigrated to America in 1637, in company with his
brother. Rev. John Fiske, was born in England, about 1614, and was there
married to Bridget Musket, by whom he had several children. He was admitted
Freeman (at Wenham), in 1643, and chosen town clerk of the same during the
following year. He was elected Representative to the General Court of the Com-
monwealth in 1647, and continued in that office by annual election until 1652. He
appears to have enjoyed to a large extent the confidence and respect of his
townsmen, but was cut short in his career by death, in 1654, in the prime of
his life, under 40 years of age; having during the eleven years of his residence in
Wenham, repeatedly served in all the positions of trust within the gift of the peo-
ple. He died intestate, and therefore most probably of some sudden and acute
disease. Letters of administration were granted to his widow, in July, 1654. by
which provision was made for the following children, therein named: William,
Samuel, Joseph, Benjamin, and Martha. William, the eldest, was born 1642. Other
children may have been born previously, but must have died young. The above
named were evidently the only living heirs at the time of their father's decease.
No records of births, marriages or deaths were kept on the town books of Wen-
ham before 1686, when Capt. Thomas Fiske was instructed to commence their
registration . Consequently the facts respecting the early generations are derivable
only where private sources are wanting, from the public records of the land
and probate offices. These records, for the entire counties of Essex and Middle-
sex, and covering a period of over two hundred 3^ears, in connection with various
town records, have been carefully examined, and the results of the investigation,
after much study, have been compiled in the following pages.
William Fiske, Jr., the eldest son of William Fiske, the emigrant, born in
1642, was married to Sarah Kilham. of Wenham, Jan. 15, 1662, and by her had
several children, the record of whose names and births was found among
the private papers of his grandson, William Fiske, Sr., of Amherst, N. H.
Mr. Fiske, by occupation a weaver, was admitted a Freeman in 1670: was
chosen deacon of the Congregational Church, of which his uncle, Rev. John Fiske,
was first pastor, in 1679. He also held various public offices, such as clerk,
moderator of the town for many years. He also represented the town of Wenham
for eleven different sessions in the General Court of Massachusetts. Indeed, he
and others of the family, for fifty years consecutively, were the sole representatives
of the town in that body, and until 1720. He inherited to a large extent his
father's ability and worthy character, being deacon of Wenham Church for above
forty years, and died at a good old age, in his 86th year. In his will, dated
1725, and proved 1728, all of his children are mentioned as legatees, except those
who had died previously. But to his sixth son, Ebenezer. who was principal heir
and legatee, and also his immediate successor in the deacon's office, was bequeathed
"the original homestead," which property became by inheritance the residence
also of his grandson. William Fiske, fourth son of Dea. Ebenezer, and remained in
the family until March, 1773, when, upon the removal of said William Fiske to
Amherst, N. H., it was sold to one Wm. Webber. Nothing now remains to mark
the spot but a heap of stones, and the family name becoming extinct in Wenham,
only the venerable slabs in the cemetery are left to bear witness to the fact
that here was the ancestral seat of an ancient and honorable family, whose de-
scendants, widely scattered but still maintaining the high character of their lineage,
constitute today the main body of the Fiskes in America. To this source may be
traced five distinct branches, which in this work are classified as the Amherst,
Upton, Shelburne, Rhode Island and Connecticut lines.
16 FISKE GENEALOGY.
William Fiske, fourth son of Dea. Ebenezer, of Wenham, principal heir of his
estate and sole executor of his will, resided at the ancient homestead in Wenham,
where probably his father, himself and his own children were all born, until the
decease or removal of his own immediate relatives. Of himself personally little
is known, except that in his character and principles he was a staunch Puritan.
And considering that the characteristics of race and parentage stamp the in-
dividual, it would be strange were the case otherwise. His ancestors from a re-
mote period were Puritans or Reformers, a lineage illustrious for their piety and
inflexible virtues. His father and grandfather were successively deacons in the
original Wenham church, for upwards of seventy years; the same ancient church
of which the Rev. John Fiske himself, was the original pastor. More remotely
still the family had been identified with that great reformatory struggle in England,
from which were gathered the rich fruits of a purer faith and constitutional
liberty. Such were the forefathers of William Fiske, and such the ancestral vir-
tues, a goodly measure of which he inherited with his patrimony. That he was
a man of strong religious convictions and most exemplary life is manifest from
the admirable parental discipline by which his children were trained to become
excellent citizens, godly men and women, and enabled to exert a wide and benefi-
cent influence in their day and generation. And in this respect they but bear em-
phatic testimony, alike with other collateral branches, to the strength of that
moral principle which, taking root with the parental stock in Wenham, over two
centuries ago, has marvelously spread and diffused itself, like a spiritual leaven,
through the various descendant and divergent lines, to this day. Mr. Fiske — ta
resume the thread of family history — having been appointed sole executor of Dea.
Ebenezer's will, remained in Wenham long enough to settle the estate and dispose
of the homestead, and various tracts of land, when (in 1773) he removed to Am-
herst, N. H., with his wife Susanna, and nine children, and two daughters-in-law,
Mary Bragg, the wife of their son, Jonathan, and Eunice Nourse, wife of their
son, William. The father, William, Sr., purchased a tract of land on the south side
of Walnut Hill, and there the original homestead of the Amherst Fiskes was
established. Having lived to see his country proclaimed free and independent,
and his family settled in comparative comfort, he died in 1777, in the 52d year of
his age.
Of their sons and daughters, all, except Anna, married, and she and two
others excepted, William and David, remained in Amherst; all eventually removed
and settled elsewhere. Some of them raised large families, and all more or less
prospered in circumstances, and the good esteem of their fellow citizens. Of
them all, it is believed, it may be truly said that their lives were blameless before
God, and their end calm and full of peace. Among the descendants of William
Fiske, Sr., of Amherst, may be mentioned Judge Jonathan Fiske, his son. Hon.
Jonathan Fiske, Hon. William Fiske, Hon. Francis N. Fiske, Rev. Dr. Franklin
W. Fiske, Rev. Dr. L. R. Fiske, Rev. Dr. William Allen Fiske, Rev. A. A.
Fiske, and a long roll of deacons and other church officers.

34 FISKE GENEALOGY.
SOMETHING OF THE ENGLISH
AND AMERICAN FISKES.
(By Rev. Thaddeus Fiske, of North Cambridge, Mass.)
The most remote ancestors of the Fiske family that have come to our knowl-
edge lived in a village or parish of St. James, in the County of Suffolk, England,
in the reign of Queen Mary, in the sixteenth century.
There were six brothers, three were Papists and three were Protestants.
Their ancestors, parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents, as far as history
gives an account, are said to have been eminently pious and religious people.
Those of Protestant religion were grievously persecuted. Oi.e of them, to avoid
being burned at the stake, was hid many months in a wood-pile, and afterward
half a year in a cellar where he worked by candle light at manufactures and
remained undiscovered. But his many hardships shortened his life. In 1637 four
of his children, two sons and two daughters, in consequence of the persecuting
spirit of that day, left their home and came over to New England and took up
their abode in Salem. John was the eldest of the four, and his father at his death
committed to him the charge of his mother, two sisters and youngest brother.
John had been educated at Immanuel College, England, and became a preacher of
the Gospel, but on account of his non-conformity, being advised by his friends,
he relinquished the ministry and turned his attention to the study of medicine,
and obtained license for public practice as a physician. On arriving at Salem,
however, he recommenced the work of the ministry, his favorite pursuit. He was v.
both a preacher of the Gospel and tutor and instructor to divers young \
men in Salem, and was also employed as a physician whenever he would consent. '->
Their mother died before they arrived in New England. They came well provided
with servants and all sorts of tools for husbandry and carpentry, and with provis-
ions for their support for three years, out of which they helped others, whom they
found in want and distress. They remained together at Salem about three years.
John then went to a new village in Salem, called Wenham, where he gathered a
church and congregation, and continued their pastor about fourteen years. About
the end of the year 1655 he removed to a town called Chelmsford, where he
lived the greater part of his days. He died Jan. 14, 1676, aged seventy-five.
He left four children, two sons and two daughters. John lived with his father
in Chelmsford and was a very useful and respected citizen. Moses was brought
up at school, graduated at Harvard University in 1662; was settled in the ministry
at Braintree. On the 14th of February, 1671, the wife of Rev. John Fiske died,
which was the greatest of all his trials and afflictions. She was endeared to him
by forty-three years of mutual care and toil, affection and piety. By her incom-
parable knowledge of the Scriptures she became his concordance of the Bible and
he needed no other. She could refer him to any passage of the Scripture that he
wished to find, "fhe youngest brother of John Fiske who came over with him
settled in Watertown and was mechanic or farmer. His name probably was
Nathan, for mention is made in Watertown records of Nathan Fiske there in 1664
and of Nathan Fiske, Jr., in 1728, who was representative of the town. Nathan,
the son of the above named Nathan Fiske, went from Watertown and settled at
Weston. He was the grandfather of Rev. Thaddeus Fiske, of West Cambridge.
On Oct. 9 he married Anna Warren, by whom he had three children: Anna,
Nathan and Sarah. Having lost his wife he married, Feb. 21, 1738, for his second
wife widow Mary Fiske, of Sudbury, by whom he had seven children, namely:
Jonathan, Ezra, Samuel, Thaddeus, Mary, Hepzibeth and Nathan, the eldest, who
graduated at Harvard in 1754 and was settled in the ministry in Brookfield. It
appears that the name of Nathan was uniformly given to the firstborn son, a
practice transmitted from generation to generation. Jonathan married Abigal
Fiske, of Waltham, Mar. 10, 1760, by whom he had nine children: Nathan, Thad-
deus, Micah, Ebenezer, Abigal, Jonathan (who died in infancy), Jonathan, Abigal
and Isaac. Among the descendants of Nathan there are eight who have received
collegiate educations, seven Hummis of Harvard University, one of Dartmouth

descendants of the Fiske family to which I, Rev. Thaddeus Fiske, of Cambridge,
am more immediately related. There are other branches from the same stock,
which are spread out in various directions over the United States.
NAMED FOR FISKES.
There are a number of places in the United States named Fisk and quite a
number of postoffices of this name. In all cases the names were given in honor
of a person by this name. Below will be found a few illustrations:
FISK, VT. — In the years 1765 and 1766 a French general from Canada named
Lamathe built a large fort and had it garrisoned with soldiers and implements
of war in what is now called the town of Isle La Mott, which is an island sur-
rounded by the waters of Lake Champlain, containing 4,883^/^ acres by the original
survey, and was named in part after the said French general Lamathe, they
changed Lamathe to La Mott for some reason not now known. The town being
an island, hence it was called Isle La Mott. There were enlightened, educated
French officers occupying said fort from 1766 to some time unknown at this time,
when it was evacuated for at least fifty-seven years before a blow had been struck
elsewhere within the present domain of the state of Vermont by civilized man.
I do not know as you care to have an account of the war for which this fort was
built and I have not time to give it. In 1802 Samuel Fisk, Esq., representing said
Isle La Mott in the legislature of Vermont, had the name changed from Isle
La Mott to Vineyard. In 1830 it was changed back to Isle La Mott. The present
postoffice is Fisk, named in honor of Hon. Nelson W. Fisk, lieutenant-governor
of Vermont.
FISKDALE, MASS. — Chase's History gives the following account of Fisk-
dale, which is a village in the town of Sturbridge: "Two brothers, Henry and
Josiah J. Fiske, sons of David, of Fiske hill, and grandsons of Henry, bought
Moses Allers' farm, erected the first factory and laid the foundation of the village
that bears their name. Moses Allen's farm was deeded to them in 1826." Frederick
D. Fiske, office 87 Milk Street, Boston, is at present at the head of the business.
FISK, MO.— Fisk, Mo., Sept. 4, 1895. Dear Sir: Your letter of 28th
addressed to town clerk is handed me for a reply. The postoffice here was given
the name of "Fisk" for the reason it was a short name, and as a compliment to
me, having done quite a mill business here for several years, and am now the
postmaster here. I came to this place twelve years ago from Kalamazoo, Mich.,
or near there, in Van Buren County. My parents originally came from Rhode
Island. I was born in Vermont in 1831. My father's name was Samuel B. Fisk.
Am cousin to James Fisk, Jr., who was shot by Stokes some years ago. I sup-
pose I have a cousin living in Chicago by name of C. W. Fisk. If I can be of any
help to you in compiling your work shall be glad to do what I can.
Very truly,
S. W. FISK.

Button, Curdie and Long families, "William Fyske, sonne of Jefrey Fyske and

during her life. Gave property to nephews Nathaniel and
David, sons of brothers William and Jeffrey, and legacies
to the other children of said brothers, and to the children of
his brother Thomas. The widow d. in 1629. Her will is
dated Jan. 9, 1629. Made bequest to Elizabeth, dau. of Sam-
uel Fiske, ten shillings. Her will was witnessed by Nicholas
Bancroft and others.
86 v. ELIZABETH, b. in England; m. Robert Bernard. It will be
remembered that Robert and Sybil Fiske, of whom their de-
scendants were accustomed to speak with respect as Protestant
confessors in the reign of Queen Mary, had beside the four
sons a daughter Elizabeth, who married Robert Bernard, who
was a farmer of the estate of Custrick Hall, in Wecky, County
Essex, which he held of Sir Edward Coke, the lord chief
justice. And, having mentioned this marriage, Candler brings
before us a genealogical fact of great curiosity and impor-
tance. It is that a daughter of this Bernard married a Locke,
and was the mother of John Locke, who writing about 1660,
he describes simply as "John Locke, M. A." Very little is
known of Locke's father, but, any one who has written on
his life has not had the slightest knowledge of the mother to
whom we owe this eminent man. The mother of Locke was
brought up among the more zealous Puritans of the Counties
of Essex and Suffolk, and heard from her infancy stories of
religious persecutions. She must have seen near connections
of her family leaving their native homes to find, as they sup-
posed, security and peace in a distant land, and the feeling thus
engendered in her mind we may easily believe to have been
communicated to her son, who in due time became the great
defender of the principles of the utmost tolerance in dealing
with men in force of conscience and religious opinion. This
is a digression, but perhaps it will not be unacceptable to see
the name of so illustrious a person now for t'C ir-r^^t time
placed in public in family connection with so mary of the v', — ;
Puritan settlers in New England. Bernard stcd in the reic-n
tion of great-uncle to Candler, who records th- facts which 1
have now brought from their hiding place, and to all the
Fiskes who laid the foundation of the familes of that name
in the New England states. John Locke (griudson of Robert
Fiske), English philosopher, was born at ^v/■rington. Somer-
setshire, Aug. 29, 1632, died at Oates, a cou'itry seat in-£ssex,
Oct 28, 1704. The moderate inheritance of his family was con-
siderably reduced during the civil wars, in which his father was
FISKE GENEALOGY. 41
a parliamentary captain. Under the brief political ascendancy
of the Puritans he imbibed the religious principle and spirit
of liberty which actuated that body of men. His education
began at Westminster school, from which he was elected in
1651 to Christ Church College, Oxford, where he graduated
bachelor of arts in 1655 and master in 1658, continuing to
reside in that city till 1664. In after life he regretted that he
had spent so much of his time in the university, chiefly from his
contempt of the scholastic philosophy and methods which were
there upheld; yet he applied himself diligently to the classics,
read in private the works of Bacon and Descartes, and enjoyed
the friendship of persons whose society and conversation first
suggested the idea of his greatest work. His companions
were chosen rather from among the lively and agreeable than
the sfudious and learned, and his early correspondence often
displays wit and irony. The precise and scientific method of
Descartes seems to have given the first impulse to his specu-
lations, but Bacon exerted a more permanent and congenial
influence, and he may be called the metaphysician of the
Baconian philosophy. After receiving his degrees he devoted
himself principally to medicine, which occupied much of his
attention through life, and his eminent proficiency in which is
attested by Dr. Sudenham, the greatest authority of his time.
In 1664 he accepted the post of secretary in a diplomatic mis-
sion to the court of Brandenburg, and, returning to Oxford
within a year, was in doubt whether to begin the practice of
medicine as a profession, to continue in diplomatic employ-
ment, offers of which both in Spain and Germany were made
to him, or to enter the church, a considerable preferment in
which was promised through the duke of Orleans, lord lieu-
tenant of Ireland. He was engaged in studies of experimental
philosophy, when in 1666 he became acquainted with Lord
Ashley, afterward earl of Shaftesbury, who was then suffering
from an abscess in the chest. Locke divined the nature of the
disorder, which no one else had been able to discover; the life
of the nobleman was believed to have been saved by a surgical
operation which the philosopher advised; and the result was
a close and permanent friendship between them. Locke ac-
companied him to London, and in his house enjoyed the soci-
ety of the duke of Buckingham, the earl of Northumberland,
Lord Halifax, and others of the most distinguished characters
of the time. Ashley united engaging manners with distin-
guished ability, and was an admirable talker; and Locke,
whose esteem for conversational capacity led him to assign it
a first place in the formation of a man's mind, was probably
attached in this instance very much by his quality. While
residing with him, he superintended the education of his son,
and subsequently of his grandson, the third earl of Shaftes-
bury, the elegant philosophical writer of Queen Anne's reign.
In 1668 he accompanied the earl and countess of Northumber-
land on a tour in France, and after his return was employed
by Ashley to draw up the fundamental laws of Carolina, which
province had been granted to him and seven others. The
scheme of government which was prepared, aristocratic and
conformed to monarchy, yet tolerant of all religions, indicates
the cautious and practical tendencies of his mind, since, though
a lover of freedom, he proposed to establish it in a new coun-
try only in so far as it had been realized in England. In 1670
he made the first sketch of his "Essay concerning Human
Understanding," which was finished in 1687 and published in
1690. In a discussion with five or six friends at his chambers
in Oxford, he suggested that the dispute and perplexity could
only be solved by a preliminary examination of our own abili-
/

ties, and of what subjects our understandings are or are not
fitted to deal with. He set down several thoughts on the sub-
ject previous to their next meeting, and the work thus begun
was often resumed and often neglected during his various avo-
cations, and was ultimately completed in retirement and leis-
ure. While Shaftesbury was lord chancellor, Locke held the
appointment of secretary for the presentation of beneficies, and
afterward of secretary to the board of trade. In 1675 he went
to France for the benefit of his health, residing at Montpellier,
where he became acquainted with Mr. Herbert, afterward earl
of Pembroke, to whom his "Essay" is dedicated, and in Paris,
where his conversation was welcomed by the most eminent
literary and scientific men. He was recalled to England when
Shaftesbury regained power for a brief season in 1679; and
when that nobleman charged with high treason had taken
refuge in Holland, he followed him thither in 1683. He con-
tinued to reside there after the death of Shaftesbury, having
incurred the hostility of the court by his connection with him.
At Amsterdam he kept aloof from the British exiles who were
plotting the rebellion of Monmouth, auguring their ill success,
and joined with Limborch, Le Clerc, and others, in the forma-
tion of a philosophical society for the weekly discussion of im-
portant business. Spies were set about him to suggest irri-
tating topics, and to report his words to his ruin, but they
were foiled by his steady silence concerning the politics of the
day. The court therefore resolved to punish him in the only
point where he was vulnerable, and ejected him from his stu-
dentship in Christchurch College. Still he refused to take part
in the schemes of invasion, and concealed himself at Utrecht,
where he was employed in writing his letter "On Toleration."
In the Bibliotheque universalle et historique of Le Clerc he
published in French in 1686 a "New Method of a Common-
place Book," in 1687 an abridgement of his "Essay on the
Human Understanding," which was published in England in
the same year, and in Latin at Gouda in 1689. Its liberal views
were attacked by an Oxford theologian, and were defended by
Locke in two additional letters. Adopting the theory of a
compact, he maintained that the state relates only to civil inter-
ests, has nothing to do with matters in the world to come,
and should therefore tolerate all modes of worship not im-
moral in their nature or involving doctrines inimical to good
government. Conscious of no crime, he refused to accept a
pardon which William Penn promised to obtain for him from
James II., but returned to England after the revolution of
1688 in the same fleet which brought the Princess of Orange,
and obtained through Lord Mordaunt the office of commis-
sioner of appeals. In 1690 appeared his "Essay concerning
Human Understanding," the first work which attracted atten-
tion in England to metaphysical speculations, except on the
part of merely studious men, and one of the greatest contribu-
tions in modern times to the philosophy of the human mind.
The celebrity of the author as a friend of religious liberty, the
attacks upon it, and the attempts made at Oxford to prevent
the students from reading it. were among the secondary
causes of its success. Six editions appeared within fourteen
years, and through translations into Latin and French the
fame of the author was made European. He published in
1690 two "Treatises on Civil Government," written to support
the principles of the revolution by establishing the title of
King William upon the consent of the people as the only
title of lawful government. In 1693 his "Thoughts Concern-
ing Education," in which his object is to fashion a gentleman
rather than a scholar, and therefore he lays less stress on
FISKE GENEALOGY. 43
learning than on virtue, breeding and practical wisdom; and
in 1695 "The Reasonableness of Christianity," the object of
which was to determine what points of belief were common
to all the Christian sects, in order to facilitate a plan of the
king for the reconciliation and union of them all. He pub-
lished a vindication of this work against the charge of So-
cinianism, and conducted a controversy with Stillingfieet,
who in his work on the Trinity denounced some of the prin-
ciples of the "Essay" as opposed to fundamental Christian
doctrines. In 1700 he resigned his commissionership in con-
sequence of his failing health, and, declining a pension offered
him by the king in a personal interview, returned to the man-
sion of his friend Sir Francis Masham at Oates, in Essex,
where he devoted the remainder of his life to the study of the
Scriptures. Among the fruits of his later labors were a "Dis-
course on the Miracles," "Paraphrases, with Notes, of the
Epistles of St. Paul," and an "Examination of Father Male-
branche's Opinion of Seeing all Things in God," which were
published posthumously. His excellent treatise on the "Con-
duct of the Understanding," which may be regarded as the
ethical application of his "Essay," being a scheme of the edu-
cation which an adult person should give himself, also ap-
peared after his death. He received during his last years,
while suffering under an incurable asthma, the affectionate
attentions of Lady Masham, a daughter of Ralph Cudworth,
and died ultimately in his chair, from the natural decay of a
constitution originally weak, while she was reading the Psalms
to him. The course and circumstances of Locke's life were
in every respect favorable to the production of such work as
the "Essa" Concerning Human Understanding." Early im-
bued with, zeal for liberty and with the principles of a severe
moi"ality, 1 5 whole life was a warfare against the enemies of
freedom ii speculation, freedom in worship, and freedom
from ever] unnecessary political restraint. Acquainted by
his studies both with scholastic subtleties and the physical
sciences, he was in mature age admitted to the society of wits
and politicians, and became a man of business and of the
world. The "Essay" was the product of meditation continued
through many years, was composed at intervals, and is in a
studied colloquial and rather racy style, which, however at-
tractive to the reader, is too figurative, ambiguous, various,
and even contradictory, for the purposes of philosophy. The
essential character and tendency of his system has therefore
always been a matter of dispute between metaphysicians of
difterenl schools, and different passages suggest very opposite
conclusions. His object was to inquire into the origin, cer-
tainty, and extent of human knowledge, and his method was
purely psychological, by the patient and tentative observa-
tion of the phenomena of consciousness. In the first book he
confutes the Cartesian doctrine of innate principles or axioms,
which would conflict with his whole theory of the empirical
origin of our ideas. This theory is fully developed in the
second book, in which he shows that our natural faculties are
capable of forming every notion that we possess, that the
action of these faculties takes its rise from experience, and
that the mind may therefore be compared to a sheet of white
paper void of all characters till the events of time inscribe
them. Having thus stated the principle that all the materials
of our knowledge come from experience, he explains it more
particularly by making a distinction between sensation and re-
flection as sources of ideas. The former is observation of the
external world, the latter of our own mental operations.
Though he uses the term reflection in a wavering and indefi-
[\
•4
I

nite sense, it does not plainly appear that he ascribed to it any
other power than that of a mere formal and logical mechan-
ism, to act upon, to combine and compare, and to extensively
modify the materials primarily afforded by the senses. In
long and acute processes of reasoning he aims to bring the
ideas of space, time, infinity, causality, personal identity, sub-
stance, and good and evil within the limits of experience. The
third book is a treatise on the nature, use and abuse of lan-
guage. In the fourth book he passes from ideas to knowl-
edge, from psychology to onthology, treating the question
as to the adequacy of our ideas and the reality of our knowl-
edge. He held a representative theory of perception, main-
taining that the mind does not know things immediately, but
by the intervention of ideas; that knowledge is real only in so
far as there is conformity between our ideas and the reality
of things: and that ideas may be entirely inadequate, however
distinct they are, thus rejecting the criterion of Descartes.
This theory contains the germ of utter skepticism, and was the
ground on which Berkeley denied the existence of the material
world, and Hume involved all human knowledge in doubt.
The distinction established by Kant between the cause and the
occasion of our conceptions, making the former to exist in the
original constitution of the mind, and the latter in the circum-
stances of experience, would have removed the fundamental
error involved, perhaps without design, in the system of Locke.
There are indications in many passages of his work that he was
not satisfied with that tendency to sensationalism, which when
rigidly developed bore fruits of utilitarianism in morals, ma-
terialism in metaphysics, and skepticism in religion. A biog-
raphy of Locke was published in 1829 by Lord King, a lineal
descendant of his sister, and added to Bohn's "Standard
Library" in 1858. The best complete edition of his works is
in 10 vols. (London, 182,3). His philosophical works have
been published by J. A. St. John (2d ed., 2 vols., London,
1854). A new biography by H. R. Fox Bourne was announced

65. RICHARD FISKE (Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b. Stadhaugh,

to Cotton Mather he lived in the reign of Queen Mary and endured grievous per-
secution. There were several branches of Fiskes in the southern parts of the
County of Suffolk, England, all springing from a Richard Fiske, who lived at
Broad Gates, in Laxfield, a rural village north of Framlingham, where the inhab-
itants were so zealous for the reformation that one of them, John Noyes, was
most barbarously put to death in the reign of Queen Mary. Fox. in his account
of the burning of Noyes, speaks of Nicholas Fiske, who was one of the sons of
Richard. Two other of his sons, Robert and William, fled in the time of that ter-
rible persecution. It does not appear that Nicholas had any issue. William
who had fled was the subject of a parricide, for which his son, Joseph Fiske,
suffered the penalty of death at Bury St. Edmunds. Of this branch of the family
nothing more need be said, or of the descendants of other sons of Richard, than
Robert, from whom sprang all of the name who were in the early emigration.
He resided in Laxfield and made his will Sept. 7, 1572, which was proved Nov. 5,

England, were related to the Fiskes. These were Joshua and

Anthony, Jr., in 1646. They were brothers, sons of Anthony
Fisher, of Syleham, by his wife Mary, who was another dau.
_0l_William_and__Anoe Fisk^, of South Elmham; but this is
another insfafrce in which we have to regret that Candler in
his manuscript did not draw his pedigrees with more precision.
Candler does not give us any further information respecting
them, but we may form some idea of the class of society from
which they sprang from the notice which he takes of two of
their brothers who appear to have remained in England: Cor-
nelius, who was M. A. and taught the school at East Bergholt,
and Amos wh6 farmed an estate called Custridge Hall in the
Parish of Wesley, which is in the hundred of Tendring between
Colchester and the sea. Cornelius left no issue, and his widow
remained with George Smith who was one of the ministers at
Dedham, a famous city of Puritan piety. Amos married Anne
Morice, the relict of Daniel Locke, and had several children,
settled in those parts of Essex, of whom it is not known that
any of them followed in the steps of their two uncles.

persons of one family, two brothers and two sisters, all married, and who Mather

than is to be found in the Candler manuscript in the British
Museum, which gives no description of him; but in Savage's
Winthrop, note to Vol. i, page 84, the Rev. Mr. Chickering,
mmister of Woburn, is mentioned, who might be supposed to
be a relative. Candler, in his manuscript, speaks of another
Chickering, whose Christian name was unknown, to whom he
married the widow of a first cousin of Candler's father, Ben-
jamin Smith, farmer of Northall, in Wrentham. (Our Henry
Chickering, of Dedham, was probably a brother of Francis.)
This Mr. Chickering, he further says, went to New England
after the death of his wife. Benjamin Smith was brother to
Sarah, wife of David Fiske, emigrant. They res. in Dedham.

He was ofWatertown, was admitted a freeman of the colony in Mar., 1637-8. He had
come to America, probably the preceding year, as he was not a proprietor until
Feb., 1637. Before 1644 he was a grrmtee of one lot and a purchaser of six other
lots. His homestall of twenty-two acres was granted to John Kingsbury, of whom
he had purchased it just prior to his removal to Dedham. This latter property
was bounded on the north by the Cambridge line and the property of J. Coolidge;
south by the highway (Pond Road) ; west by land of J. Coolidge, and east by that
of B. Bullard. The total amount of his real estate was 227 acres. He was a man
of standing in the community and early held office. In 1639 he was elected a

in Wenham, 1642, one of the first settlers, and until his death a leading citizen of
that town, was the youngest son of Thomas Fiske. of England, and a grandson
of Robert and Sybil (Gould) Fiske, of Laxfield, County of Suffolk. He was a
captain of the militia in Wenham, and constable in 1644; Representative to the
General Court in 1653; appointed "Commissioner to end small causes" — probably
a Justice — in 1654; and his estate was settled upon his decease in 1673. Phineas
Fiske (sometimes spelled Phinehas) was twice married. His first wife, Sarab,
and mother of his children, died in 1659; and in 1660 he married Elizabeth Easter-
ick. His will — the first of the Fiskes found on the I'ecords — was made in
March and proved in June of 1673, in which mention is made of sons James,
John and Thomas Fiske, but not of wife (perhaps deceased) or daughters.
Among his legatees were "nephews Samuel, who was to have his great Bible,
and Mark Fiske." All of the foregoing were evidently born in England some
years before emigration, for son James was freeman same year with his father
(1642), and Thomas, the youngest, according to a certain deposition, was at tint
time about twelve j^ears old. The family most probably came out in company
with their relatives, Rev. John and William Fiske, as their names appear simul-
taneously (in 1641) on the records of Salem Church.
Wenham, Massachusetts, where he resided, was the last of the seven towns
in Essex County that was set off from Salem, and is situated about twenty-two
miles northeast of Boston. The general surface of the country is level, the soil
fruitful, well watered and productive. In olden times the village of Wenham
was recorded as remarkable for its quiet arcadian beauty, and its principal lake
has obtained celebrity for the purity of its waters. The town was incorporated
l\
52 FISKE GENEALOGY.
in 1643. Its settlers and principal inhabitants, like 'hose of the most of the older
towns, were Puritans, taken from the great middle class of Englishmen who have
always been the backbone of the nation. Intelligent, religious, hardy and in-
dustrious, they were undoubtedly the best as to character of any emigrants ever
brought to this country. Their influence in shaping the destiny of the nation is
apparent in the high rank JNIassachusetts has always taken among her sister
states. From the Wenham town records it is learned that "Phineas Fisk was
the first constable, and he, with Charles Gott and John Fisk, constituted the first
board of selectmen; Wm. Fisk was town clerk." Capt. Phinehas was repre-
sentative to the general court in 1653. His will was proved June 26, 1673. One
witness was Samuel Fisk. Legatees son James to have one-half the house and
land, sons John and Thomas to have the remainder, nephew Samuel to have his
great Bible, and Mark Fisk some articles of bedding (above from Salem court
records). He d. June 7, 1673; res. England, Salem and Wenham, Mass.

The earliest of the Wenham town records extant is a grant of twenty acres
of land to the town, one-half of it by Mr. Smith, on one side of the meeting house,
and the other half by Mr. John Fisk, on the other side of it. This grant, which was
made March 2, 1642, appears to have been divided into two-acre lots, which were
given to actual settleii on condition of building upon them dwellings for them-
selves and their families. But in case that any such should wish to remove from
the village they were required to oft'er their places for sale first to "the Plantation."
The object of this arrangement was to encourage actual settlers, and also to form
a village about the middle of the town. From these votes it appears that a meet-
ing house, at least a temporary one, had already been built. It is supposed to have
stood on or near the spot occupied by that built in 1664, viz., upon the eminence
near the house at one time belonging to Mr. Henry Tarr.
There cannot be a doubt that John is the "Mr. John Fiske" who was made a
freeman at a court held in March, 1637-8 (Savage's Winthrop, Vol. 2, p. 367).
Mather says that he was "the elder brother," and that he died Jan. 14, 1676.
His wife was Ann Gipps, of Frinshall, in Norfolk. They had a child, who was
born at Frinshall, but died in infancy. A son, Nathaniel, died an infant. Three
other children, John, Sarah and Closes, were born in New England, and here
Candler's account in his manuscript in the British Museum of this branch of
family ends.
Rev. John Fiske (by Cotton Mather). Among the writers of the Gospel with
which the primitive church was blessed was "Luke, the beloved Physician," of
whom Jerom elegantly says that as the Apostles from fishers of fish became
fishers of men; so from a physician of bodies Luke was made a physician of souls;
and as his book is read in the church his medicine will not cease. So among the
first preachers who rendered the primitive times of New England happy, there
was one who might likewise be called a "beloved physician," one to whom there
might also be given the eulogy which the ancients think was given to Luke, a
brother whose praise was the gospel throughout all the churches. This was Mr.
John Fiske. Mr. Fiske was born in the Parish of St. James, in the County of
Suffolk, England, about the year 1601, of pious parents. His grandparents and
great-grandparents were eminently zealous in the true religion. In the reign of
Queen Mary, of six brothers of this name, three were Papists and three were
Protestants. Tw'o of the latter were grievously persecuted. The one from whom
FISKE GENEALOGY. 53
John, the subject of this memoir, descended, was, to avoid burning, hid many
months in a wood pile and afterward half a year in a cellar, where he wrought by
candle light at manufactures and remained undiscovered. But his many hardships
brought on excessive bleeding, which shortened his days and added to "the cry
of the souls under the altar." John was the eldest of four children, who all came
with him to New England and left posterity with whom God established His Holy
Covenant. His parents having devoted him to the Lord Jesus Christ, sent him
first to a grammar school at a distance of two miles from their abode. Being
there fitted for the university, he was sent to Immanuel College, Cambridge,
where he resided until he took his first degree. Having spent some considerable
time in preparatory studies he entered upon the work to which he had been de-
voted and which was his favorite object, the preaching of the Gospel. In this
pursuit he would have continued had not Satan hindered him. The conformity
act was odious to him. Its friends and supporters "breathed out slanders and the
silencers pressed so hard upon him for his non-conformity, that upon the advice
of his friends he relinquished the ministry and turned his attention to the study of
physics. After a thorough examination he obtained license for public practice.
At the age of 28 years he married a virtuous and amiable woman, who did him
good and not evil all her days. She was the sharer and soother of all his tribula-
tions until about three years before his death, when she left him to go to be with
Christ. In 1633 his father died and left him in charge of his mother, two sisters
and yoimger brother. This event dissolved the strongest ties that bound him to
his native soil and removed every obstruction that seemed to be in the way to the
engagement of his favorite pursuit. He resolved on going to New England, where
he saw an opportunity for the quiet exercise of his ministry. He went on board a
ship in disguise to avoid the fury of his persecutors. After they had passed the
land's end, he entertained the passengers with two sermons a day, besides other
agreeable discourses and devotional exercises, which filled the voyage with so much
religion that one of the passengers being examined about his trying to divert
himself with a hook and line on the Lord's daj'', protested that he did not know
when the Lord's day was; he thought every day was a Sabbath day, for they did
nothing but pray and preach all the week long. Mr. Fiske arrived in New Eng-
land in the year 1637. His aged mother died quickly after he came on board, and
his only infant quickly after he came on shore. He came well stocked with ser-
vants and all sorts of tools for husbandry and carpentry, and with provisions to
support his family in a wilderness three years; out of which he charitably let a con-
siderable quantity to the country, which he then found in the distresses of a war
with the Pequot Indians.
The most prominent name among the first settlers of the town of Wenham
was that of Fisk. Rev. John Fisk, who came from the County of Suffolk, in
England, was the first minister of the place. As the parish of Wenham, in Eng-
land, lies in the same county, it is not unlikely that the name of the town was
taken from the original residence of this family. Rev. Mr. Fisk, after a residence
of twelve years in Wenham, removed to Chelmsford, where he died. Besides
him, three others of the name of Fisk were among the original settlers, and did
not leave with the colony that removed to Chelmsford. They appear to have
been men of property, and acted an important part in the infant settlement. Capt.
Phineas and John Fisk were two of the first board of selectmen, and Hon. Wm.
Fisk was the first town clerk. From the frequency with which the name occurs
in the early records of baptisms, the descendants of the family appear to have
been numerous, and for an hundred years or more they acted a prominent part
in town affairs. Three of them, at different periods, held the oiilice of deacon of
the cluirch. Out of thirty-five times that the town sent a deputy to the General
Court, before 1720, it was represented twenty times by some one of this name.
The first schoolmaster and the first commander of the militia, appointed in Wen-
ham, was Capt. Thomas Fisk, who, for a period of twenty or thirty years, appears
to have been the most important man in the town. As early as 1655 he was ap-
pointed town clerk, and two-pence granted to him for every order he should
record. The first book of the town records is mostly in his hand-writing, which
is not quite as legible as that of the best writing masters. He was a prominent
actor in the series of measures which resulted in the division of the common
lands. There continued to be several of the name in the place until the latter
part of the last century, when it was reduced to a single family. Several farms
54 FISKE GENEALOGY.
have been at different times in possession of the family. The place, however,
where they lived longest, and which is the most identified with their name, was
on a lane leading from the Ober place (so-called) towards Wenham causeway.
An old cellar alone remanis to mark the spot, where generations lived, labored,
and passed away.
The next year, Mr. John Fisk, who had taught the first grammar school
established in Salem, and while thus engaged had occasionally assisted Mr. Peters
in his ministerial labors, removed to Wenham, and through his efforts a church
was regularly organi;:ed on the 8th of October, 1644. He at once became its pas-
tor, and continued his labors in the town till 1656, apparently much to the satis-
faction of the people. To the duties of the pastor he added those of physician, bO
that Cotton Mather remarks concerning him: "Among the most famous preachers
and writers of the gor.pel, with whom the primitive church was blessed, there was
Luke, the beloved physician, the blessed scholar and colleague of the Apostle
Paul." .
I'his appears like higii eulogy, but for the times in which he lived, Mr. Fisk
was evidently a superior man. He was descended from pious ancestry, and was
early devoted to the service of Christ and the church. His parents, after carefully
instructing him at home, sent him to the giammar school and afterwards to the
university. He graduated at Lnmanuel College, Cambridge, and after studying
theology was engaged for several years in the work of the ministrj'. In conse-
quence, however, of the persecution then carried on against the Puritans and the
difficulties and annoj^ances in the way of preaching, in accordance with the advice
of his friends, he turned his attention to medicine, and obtained the usual license
to practice as a physician. Yet he was still so desirous to resume the labors of
the ministry that he determined to remove to America. He had previously mar-
ried a lady of high rank and uncommon worth. To her parents his purpose to
come to America was so disagreeable that they resolved to deprive him of several
hundred pounds, which were the just share of his wife in her father's estate. At
the call of duty, however, he did not hesitate to sacrifice property and all the en-
dearments of home and kindred. Disguising himself to escape the fury of his
persecutors, he embarked, in company with the Rev. John Allen, afterwards the
first minister of Dedham.
After arriving in this country, Mr. Fisk appears to have taught some years
in Cambridge, and afterwards in Salem. Of his services in the latter city, the
Mayor of Salem, in a public address in 1842 says: "'We may all be proud of the
honest fame of the first teacher of our grammar school. He was, by the concur-
rent testimony of the most learned and honored of his day and generation,
ranked high in the list of able, useful and devoted ministers of the gospel. One
of his scholars was Sir George Downing, who was a member of the first class
that graduated at Harvard College, and who was afterwards minister for Crom-
well and Charles H. j.t The Hague." His pupils, it is said, were fitted "to read
any classical authors into English, and readily make and speak true Latin, and
write it in verse as well as prose, and perfectly to decline the paradigms of nouns
and verbs in the Greek tongue."
Preferring, however, the w^ork of the ministry to the labors of the teacher,
he gave up his school in 1643, and, removing to Wenham, joined his fortunes to
those of the infant plantation. Upon what salary he was settled we have no
means of ascertaining. A piece of land appears to have been granted to him,
and in addition to this, he had probably such contributions as the people were
able to raise. It is stated that "he drew largely upon his own estate for the ben-
efit of the new plantation." (In 164J he gave ten acres of land for the benefit of
the church and society). In 1654 it was voted by the town that "the yearly main-
tenance of our minister shall bee fortie pounds a year, whether Mr. Fisk stay
among us, or we procure another;" and again, that "Mr. Gott, James Moulton
and John Fisk are chosen to go to Mr. Miller, to give him a call in case Mr. Fisk
leaveth us." December, 1655, it was ordered "that in case Mr. Brock be secured
to stay amongst us, whatsoever the town hath engaged, or shall be levied on any
land, shall be paid, two-thirds part in wheat, barley or peas, butter or pork, and
the other third part in Indian corn." In consequence of the extreme scarcity of
money, taxes and contributions were very generally paid in produce. According
to the expenses of living and the means of the people, £40 a year would seem to
be full as large a salary as is now usually paid in country towns.
FISKE GENEALOGY. 55
From the previoDS votes, it appears that Mr. Fisk had already formed the
purpose of leavmg Wcnham. He remained, however, till 1656, when, with a ma-
jority of the church, ne removed to Chelmsford, where he lived for twenty years,
discharging the duties at once of the minister and the physician. "For twenty
years," says Cotton Mather, "did he shine in the golden candlestick of Chelms-
ford, a plam, but an able, powerful and useful preacher of the gospel, rarely, if
ever, by sickness hindered from the exercise of his ministry." He died m his new
field of labor in 1676, at the advanced age of 75.
Rev. W. Allen, in his history of Chelmsford, has given high testimony to the
value of Mr. Fisk's labors in that town. The trials and hardships which he was
there called to endure, might have disheartened youthful vigor, but were borne
\ with fortitude and even cheerfulness. For the use of his flock, he wrote a cate-
• chism entitled, "Watering of the Olive Plants in Christ's Garden." This little
\ work IS moderate m doctrine, catholic in spirit, and admirably designed." His
) epitaph in Latin is as iollows: "vixi et quem dederas cursum mihi Christe peregi,
' pertaesus vitae, snaviter opto mori." (I have lived and finished the work which
Thou, Saviour, didst give me; weary of life, I long to depart in peace.)
. Rev. John Fiske, of Chelmsford, made his will June 18, 1674, which was proved
by Samuel Foster, Sr. and Jr., Feb. 22. 1676. The other witness was Edward
Spalding. The inventory of the estate was taken 2, 11. 1676 by Samuel Adams,
Samuel Foster, Sr., and Abraham Parker. £703-3-10, made oath to by his son
Moses, the executor, April 4, 1677. Items, homestead, including a sheep pasture
on each side of the brook, meadow on Beaver Brooke; thirty-four
acres on great brooke; six acres on Merrimack river; ' upland on
Great Tadnicte meadow at son's place; twenty acres at great pine
playne, a part of Mr. John Fiske, Jr.'s, homestead, on which his father, the
testator, had built a house for him; meadow purchased of Capt. James Parker;
library, which was valued at £60; a still; gaily patts; scales and wts., writing his
will with his own hand. Legatees, wife Elizabeth brought when married to him
household goods, also "bees." He gave to son John, who was the eldest son, and
at that time had wife Lydia had a certain legacy which if they deceased leaving no
children, one-half of it was to go to son Moses and one-half to daughters Sarah
Martha Burton and Anne Thompson, who were then of Salem, and each a legacy,
from Mr. John Evered, alias Web. deceased. She was the youngest daughter, also
unmarried, and Moses, her brother, was to be her guardian.
Daughter Sarah was then the wife of John Farwell, of Concord, but at that
time, it seems, had no children.
Brother William, late of Wenham, deceased, left William for his eldest son
and other children, who had legacies.
Sister Rix, of Salem, who was called mother to said children, of brother
William..
Sister Martha Thompson, formerly of Salem, deceased, had left daughters

son of John senior, and brother of John junior, who emigrated, is probably the
William Fiske, who, in 1642, was admitted a freeman." (Candler's Manuscript in
the British Museum.) I shall now forbear special reference to Mr. Savage's vol-
ume of these admissions. William died in New England in 1654. He married
Bridgett Muskett of Pelham, by whom he had William, Samuel, Joseph, Benjanun
and Martha. William Fiske was of Salem in 1637, which year he arrived from
England and was brother, of Rev. John, with whom he came over. He had a
grant of land that year and was made freeman May 18, 1642, and member of the
Salem church July 2, 1641. Soon after he removed to Wenham, where he was
the first town clerk or clerk of the writs, from 1643 to 1660. In the Colonial Record
is a settlement of rights between William and his brother John, by which it seems
he was under 24 years of age in Sept., 1638. Endicott, Hathorne, and two others
of the men of Salem made the terms of agreement. He was elected representative
to the General Court of the Commonwealth in 1647 and continued in that office
until the year 1652, being annually re-elected. He enjoyed to a large extent the
esteem and confidence of his fellow citizens. He died quite suddenly in 1654, having
served his townsmen in all the of^ces in the town. He died intestate, prob-
ably his death was caused by some disease. Letters of administration were granted
by the court to "Widow Bridget Fiske July 16, 1654, and provision made for the
children, viz.: Wm., Samuel, Joseph, Benjamin and Martha. There are no rec-
ords of births in Wenham prior to 1686.
In 1643, according to the Wenham town records, Wm. Fisk received liberty
from the General Court to keep an ordinary (public house), and in 1646 was
licensed "to sell wine and strong water;" which privileges were a few years later
transferred to Phineas Fisk. One of the appraisers of his property was Phinehas
Fisk and one of the items was a "sign with the sign post."

mean to say that Jeffrey Fiske himself emigrated.
He was b. 1596 and with his wife, who he had married in
England, embarked in April, 1634 at Ipswich, for New Eng-

David, says Paige, in his History of Cambridge, rem. from Watertown to
Camb. about 1646, and i^es. on the northerly side of Linnaean street, near the
Botanic Garden, which estate he sold to Joseph Daniel 13 Dec. 1660, and prob.
rem. to the Farms (Lex.) about the same time. He was a wheelwright, but much
employed in public service, especially as a surveyor of lands. He was Selectman
1688, and Representative in the critical period of 1689. He was one of the most
prominent men in the settlement at the Farms; precinct clerk and assessor; the
first subscriber for erecting a meeting house there, and the first named member
of the Church. In 1675 the work of settlement at Worcester was prosecuted with
vigor, about the middle of April surveys were made of the lands by David Fiske,
of Cambridge. Partial surveys were made in May, 1685 (at Worcester), a lot
was laid out for Gookin of 100 acres on the east side of Pakachoag Hill and an-
other lot of- 80 acres on Raccoon Plain. There were present at this time David
Fiske, the surveyor, and others. [History of Worcester.]
"David Fiske," says Hudson, in his Hist, of Lex., "was not only one of the
first settlers, but became one of the most prominent and useful men in the pre-
cinct. He headed the subscription for a meeting house in 1692, and on the organ-
ization of the parish the year after, he was chosen clerk, and one of the selectmen
or assessors. He was also chosen chairman of a committee to purchase of the
town of Camb. a lot of land for the support of the ministry. These and other
similar olifices he frequently held under the Parish. He was also a member of the
church organized in 1696, and his wife immediately after removed hei relation
from the church in Camb. to the church gathered in the precinct. He not only
served his fellow-citizens in a civil and religious, but also in a military capacity,
as appears by the prefix Lieut., which is often in the records connected with his
name. He was often employed by the colony as a surveyor. He resided on Han-
cock St." A handsome monument was erected in 1856 by Benj. Fiske, Esq., with
this inscription:

173. SERGT. JAMES FISKE (Phinehas, Thomas, Robert, Simon, Simon,
William, Symond), b. Sufi'olk Co., England, ; m. Anna ; m. 2d
Hannah Pike. James Fiske, Sr., eldest son of Phineas, was born in England,
emigrated in 1637, joined Salem Church 1642, was same year freeman, and shortly
after the family were established in Wenham, he removed to Haverhill, Mass.,
where he had several grants of land, the first being m 1646. He was a number of
times a Selectman in Haverhill.
In the general division of lands, in 1661, James Fiske does not appear
among the grantees; had probably then removed, as in 1669 he was one of a
committee in Chelmsford appointed "to lay the land northerly of Groton," in
which latter place he died. . In his will in the Middlesex probate office dated June
14, 1689, proved July 26, 1689, all of the above children, save Ann and James, are
mentioned as legatees, but other parties were executors. James Fiske, and Samuel
Fiske, who appear on Groton records as heads of families — the first m 1690, the
latter in 1704 — were sons of the above. Among the descendants of Samuel, in the
third and fourth generations, may be mentioned Hon. Levi Fiske, of Jaffrey, and
Hoa. Thomas Fiske, of Dublin, N. H., the former a State Senator, 1835-6; the
latter, 1859-60.
The following data relative to James Fiske while residing in Haverhill is taken
from the town records: Attending town meetings was evidently considered by
60 FISKE GENEALOGY.
our ancestors as a duty each voter owed to the community in which he lived,
and for the neglect of which he deserved punishment. They even considered,
tardiness in attending as meriting rebuke, as we find by the record of Feb. 13, 1647,
that John Ayer, Sr., and James Fiske were fined "for not attending the town meet-
ing in season."
Considerable land was this year granted to individuals west of Little River,
on the Merrimack, and among others James Fiske had liberty to lay down his
land in the plain, "and have it laid out over Little River, Westward."
It was voted this year by the town "that all the meadows shall be laid out by
the I2th of June next, to each man his proportion according to his house lot."
At the same meeting it was "ordered that a committee, of which James Fiske
was one, shall view the upland that is fit to plough, by the last of March or the
tenth of April next, and that they bring in their intelligence to the town by that
time." It was also ordered "that all the undivided land, after all the meadows
and second division of plough land is laid out. shall remain to the same inhabit-
ants the proprietors of the three hundred and six acres, to every one according to
honest and true meaning, all commons remaining in general to them."
James Fiske and Anne, his wyfe, of Haverhill, for 100 pounds, sold to Rev.
John Ward, of Haverhill, Nov. 22, 1659. a Dwelling house and house lot of nine
acres in Haverhill, bounded by land of Richard Littlehale on the west, by Mr.
Ward's on the east and south, by Michael Emerson on the north, etc., also five
acres of planting land in the Playne, bounded on the south by Merrimack river

Following are the names of those who received a share in this division: "The
lots or draughts for the second division of plough land, with the number of each
man's accommodation: John Fiske, four acres.
Among the noteworthy incidents may be mentioned the case of Robert Pike,
of Salisbury. The court had prohibited Joseph Peasley and Thomas Macy, of Sal-
isbury, from exhorting the people on the Sabbath, in the absence of a minister.
Pike declared that "such persons as did act in making that law, did break their
oath to the country, for it is against the liberty of the country,
both civil and ecclesiastical." For expressing himself in this manner,
he was disfranchised by the General Court, and heavily fined. At the
next May Court, a petition was presented from a large number of the inhabitants
of Hampton, Salisbury, Newbury, Haverhill and Andover. praying that Pike's
sentence might be revoked. Among the names of the Haverhill signers, as copied
from the original petition in the State Archives, is that of James Fiske.
The lots in the fifth division of land were drawn Nov. 20, 1721, and it shows
who, or rather whose representatives, were the commoners at this time. James
Fisk is the forty-second in the list of fifty. They were the heirs and assigns of the
original purchasers, and were at this time considered to be the proprietors of the
undivided lands in the town. (P. 257, Hist, of Haverhill.)
From the Groton records are found the following entries:
Due to James ffisk & Joh. Nuttin twenty shillings for laying out the hie-way
to Chelmsford when they haue perfeted the work wh. they promise to doe as soone
as they can.
James Parker William Lakin James fiisk William Martin & Richard Blood

James Fisk, the second town clerk, was an original proprietor of Groton, and
the owner of a twenty-acre right. He wrote a good hand, and held the office
during one year.

ing from the Enemj', informed that a confiderable body of Indians had (30) feated
themfelves not far from Pacomtuck, and that they were very fecure: fo that fhould
Forces be fent forth against them, many of the Enemy would (in probabiUty) be
cut ofif, without any difficulty. Hereupon the Spirits of Men in thofe Towns were
raifed with an earneft defire to fee and to try what might be done. They fent to
their neighbors in Conn, for a fupply of men, but none coming, they raifed about
an hundred and four fcore out of their onw towns, who arrived at the Indian Wig-
wams betimes in the morning, finding them fecure indeed, yea all afleep without
having any Scouts abroad, fo that our Souldiers came and put their Guns into their
Wigwams, before the Indians were aware of them, and made a great and notable
flaughter amongft them. Some of the souldiers affirm, that they numbred above
one hundred that lay dead upon the ground, and befides thofe, others told about
an hundred and thirty, who were driven into the River, and there perifhed, being
carried down the Falls. The River Kifhon swept them away, that ancient river,
the river Kifhon, O my foul thou haft troden down ftrength. And all this while
but one Englifh-man killed, and two wounded. But God faw that if 'things had
ended thus, another and not Chrift would have had the Glory of this Victory, and
therefore in his wife providence, he fo difpofed, as that there was at laft fomewhat
a tragical iffue of this expedition. For an Englifh Captive Lad who was found
in the wigwams fpake as if Philip were coming with a thoufand Indians which falfe
report being famed (Fama bella ftant) among the Souldiers, a pannick terror fell
upon many of them, and they hafted homewards in a confuted rout: In the mean
while a party of Indians from an Ifland (whole coming on fhore might eafily have
been prevented, and the souldiers before they fet out from Hadly were earneftly
admonifhed to take care about that matter) affaulted our men; yea, to the great
difhonor of the Englifh, a few Indians purfued our Souldiers four or five miles,
who v/ere in number near twice as many as the Enemy. In this diforder, he that
was at this time the chief Captain, whofe name was Turner, loft his life, he was
purfued through a River, received his fatal ftroke as he paffed through that which
is called the Green River, etc. as he came out of the Water he fell into the hands
of the Uncircumcifed, who ftripped him (as fome who faw it affirm) and rode away
upon his horfe; and between thirty and forty more were loft in this Retreat.
Thefe Falls we once fuggefted fhould have been named Maffacre Falls: but in
all recent geographies and hiftories they are known as Turner's Falls, and we heart-
ily acquiefce in thus defignating them, as it commemorates a brave and excellent
man. I do not remember to have met with an Indian name for Thefe Falls. In
early accounts they are called fimply The Falls, the Falls in the Conn, etc. They
were by fome called Miller's Falls, as they were not far from Miller's river; they
have alfo been called Deeriield Falls."
The power of the Indians was broken in this battle, but the war still continued
in a desultory manner for two years. In these contests the people of Wenham
bore their part in contributions of man as well as of money. The manner in which
the state used to pay the services of its old and faithful soldiers may be seen from
the following order of the General Court, Mar. 18, 1684: "In answer to the peti-
tion of John Fisk, of Wenham, a sore wounded soldier in the late Indian war, and
thereby incapacitated to get his living, humbly desiring the favor of this honored
General Court (having the approbation of the selectmen of said Wenham), to
grant him a license to keep a public house of entertainment, therewith freedom
from county rates, and also to sell drink free from imposts and excises." Consent
was given.

NOTE — Massachusetts was divided into four counties in 1643, viz.: Essex,

of Merrimack River, in Massachusetts, and New Hampshire as far as Ports-
mouth at first; but after the line between Massachusetts and New Hampshire was

established what was left in Massachusetts was annexed to Essex County. Some
years later when more counties were made outside of Middlesex and Suffolk one
was named Norfolk. (See map of Massachusetts.) At first records were kept at
Ipswich and at Salem, but now all records of the county are at Salem.
175. CAPT. THOMAS FISKE (Phinehas, Thomas, Robert, Simon, Simon,
William, Symond), b. England in 1632; m. Peggy . She d., and he m. 2d,
in Boston, by Rev. Charles Morton, of Charlestown, May 14, 1695, Martha Fitch,
of Boston. "Thomas Fiske, youngest son of Phineas Fiske, of Wenham, was
born in England in 1630, was a freeman in 1661, and for above forty years after-
ward a citizen of great influence in Wenham. He participated very largely in
public affairs, was repeatedly a representative to the General Court, and died in
1705, 'the Patriarch of the town,' as he was called, being in his seventy-sixth
year. By wife Peggy, he had eight children. All the sons died while young,
except the first, Thomas." From the Judicial Court records of Essex County
it is stated that, "The wife of Thomas Fiske was presented for wearing a tiffany
hoode," and was sentenced to pay 10 shillings fine and two shillings six pence
fees to the court in Oct., 1652. Verily the court must have had a royalty on
another make of "hoodes." He came with his father from England, in his early
youth. He was one of the prominent men of the town of Wenham. Was repre-
sentative 1671-72 and often after, especially in the revolutionary times of 1689-91.
Was captain of the Colony forces. Was foreman of the jury in that sad case
of Rebecca Nurse, when after a verdict of not guilty had been given was prevailed
on to convict by the wonderful perversity and extraordinary ignorance of the
court. His shocking confession against himself and the judges is in Hutch, II., 52,
Until 1719 one public school sufficed for the inhabitants of Wenham, which for
many years was put under the charge of Capt. Thomas Fiske. For the better
protection of the community "a trained band" was organized. Thomas Fiske was
captain, and William Fiske, lieutenant. The emolument to military position in
those days far exceeded the modern estimate, for in seating the congregation (the
pew system being not yet introduced) the officers of the military next to the dea-
cons always had precedence. In 1686 the town of Wenham instructed Capt.
Thomas Fiske to keep a record of births, marriages and deaths, and he began
this registration.
In 169s Capt. Thomas Fisk was paid "for going representative, for service
as an assessor, and a day going to Ipswich, £2 9s., by the town of
Wenham. He held every office in the gift of his fellow citizens. Represented
the town in the Great and General Court, 1671-72-78-79-80-86-94-97. Was moder-
ator of the town meetings, 1700-04 and 1705; town clerk from 1661 to 1694, over
thirty-three years. His age is determined froin a deposition in regard to Joseph
Axey willing property to Joseph Fisk in 1670. He then calls himself about forty
years of age. As stated above Capt. Fiske was foreman of the jury that tried
Mrs. Rebecca Nurse, a respectable old lady in Salem, on the absurd charge of
being a witch. He subsequently made a confession, of which the following is a
copy:
July 4th, 1692. — I Thomas Fisk the subscriber hereof, being one of them that
were of the jury the last week at Salem Court, upon the trial of Rebekah Nurse,
etc., being desired, by some of the relations to give a reason why the jury brought
her in guilty, after the verdict not guilty; I do hereby give my reasons to be as
follows, viz.: When the verdict, not guilty, was given, the honoured court was
pleased to object against it, saying to them, that they think they let slip the
words which the prisoner at the bar spake against herself, which were spoken
in reply to Goodwife Hobbs and her dau. who had been faulty in setting their
hands to the Devil's book, as they had confessed formerly; the words were,
"What do these people give in evidence against me now? They used to come
among us?" After the honoured court had manifested their dissatisfaction of the
verdict, several jury declared themselves desirous to go out again, and thereupon
the honoured court gave leave; but when we came to consider the case, I could
tell how to take her words as an evidence against her, till she had a further oppor-
tunity to put her sense upon them, if he would take; and then going into court,
I mentioned the words aforesaid, which by one of the court were affirmed to have
been spoken by her, she being then at the bar, but made no reply nor interpreta-
tion of them; whereupon these words were to me a principal evidence against her.
THOMAS FISKE.
FISKE GENEALOGY. 66
Mrs. Nurse, being informed of the use which had been made of her words,
gave in a declaration to the court, that "when she said Hobbs and her daughter
were of her company, she meant no more than that they were prisoners as well
as herself; and that, being hard of hearing, she did not know what the foreman of
the jury said." But her declaration had no effect.
The minister of Salem, Mr. (Nicholas) Noyes, was over zealous in these
prosecutions. He excommunicated this honest old woman after her condemna-
tion. One part of the form seems to have been unnecessary; delivering her over
to Satan. He supposed she had delivered herself up to him long before. But her
life and conversation had been such of which many testimonies were given, that
the remembrance of it, as soon as the people returned to the use of their reason.
must have wiped off all the reproach which had been occasioned by the manner
of her death.

Chelmsford, where he died Jan. 14, 1677. The son's charges in college, extending
from 3-7-58 to 3-7-59 are for tuition, gallery, detriment and sizing, and he is
credited by 59 pounds of butter and 5 sheep. His part on taking his second
degree at commencement in 1665, has been noticed elsewhere. Not long after-
ward he was at Dover, N. H., perhaps as a preacher. In 1666 he was made free-
man. From 1668 to 1671 he officiated as Pastor at Woronoco, now Westfield,
Mass. After the death of the Reverend William Thompson, in the part of Brain-
tree now Quincy, the church there was so divided that the people could not effect
a settlement for a successor. Accordingly, "at a County Court held at Boston
by the adjournment the 23d of Nov., 1671, the court having taken into considera-
tion the many means that have been used with the Church of Braintree, and hith-
erto nothing done to effect, as to the obtaining the ordinances of Christ amongst
them, this Court therefore orders and desires Mr. Moses Fiske to improve his
labors in preaching the word of Braintree until the church there agree and obtain
supply for the work of the ministry, or this court take further order." In the
Braintree records, as stated by Lunt, Fiske writes: "Being ordered by the court
and advised by the Reverend Elders and other friends, I went up from the hon-
ored Mr. Edw'd Tyng's with two of the brethren of this church, sent to accom-
pany me (2, ID mo., 1671), being the Saturday, to preach God's word unto them."
"3> 10, 71 (Dec. 3, 1671). After evening exercises was ended I apologized as
to my coming, etc.
"4, 10, 71. About twenty of the brethren came to visit at Air. Flynt's, mani-
festing (in the name of the church) their read}^ acceptance of what the Honored
Court had done (having received and perused their order, with letters sent to their
Townsmen respecting their duty toward their minister) and thanking me for my
complience therewith.
"24, 12, 71. The church by their messengers (Capt. Brackett, Lieut. Quin-
sej\ Deacon Bass, John Doscet. sen., Gregory Belchar, Will Veazy, sen., Saml.
Tompson) did jointly and unanimously desire my settlement amongst them, and
that in order to office.
"14. 2, 72. Having advised, I gave the church, after evening exercise was fin-
ished (being often urged thereto), an answer of acceptance through God's assist- ■
ance, understanding the concurrence of the neighbors which was partly expressed,
and part tacit.

FISKE GENEALOGY. 67
"5. 3, 72. The church passed a vote of election (3 or 4 suspending who, after
acceptance, etc., manifested their hearty concurrence^.'
June 18, 1672, the town voted to give me £60 in money as by a town
rate, and he to make provision for himself as housing or else to live in a town
house provided for the ministry. And the house and land bought by the town
of brother Samuel Tompson, being about five acres and a half or six acres, to be
fences and housing set in good repair.
Aug. 18, 1672, iiaving obtained letters of recommendation and dismission from
the church at Chelmsford, he joined the church in Braintree and gave his "answer
of aceptance to their call to office, the Rev. Elders and others advising and often
renewing their request to that end." He was ordained Sept. 11, 1672. "Mr. Eliot
prayed and gave the charge; Mr. Oxenbridge and the Deacons joined in laying
on hands; Mr. Thatcher gave the right hand of fellowship. Dep. Gov. Leveret,
Mr. Danforth, Mr. Tynge and Mr. Stoughton were present." Probably, accord-
ing to the custom of the day, he preached his own ordination sermon. Oct. 26,
1674, the majority at a public town meeting voted that he "should have £80
for the year — 74, in wood part and corn, at the Country rate price, which
was barley 4s., pease 4s., Indian 3s., malt 4s." Aug. 7, 1704, it was "90 pounds in or
as money" (he finding himself with wood), to be annually paid to him, or his
assigns, during his performing ye work of the ministry in the town, from the first
of Mar., 1704." During the last years of Fiske's ministry his comfort was disturbed
by a controversy between two sections of Braintree. The population had out-
grown the capacity of the meeting house, and the southern portion, for many
years, had petitioned without success for a larger one to be situated near to them.
The distance for them to travel was long, the roads bad, particularly in winter, and
the Lord's day became one of labour instead of rest. The population of the two
sections was nearly equal. The northern section vigourously opposed the project
and the other began to build for themselves, promising to be at the whole cost of
the meeting house and to maintain their own minister. This, and propositions to
pay ID pounds and afterward 20 pounds of the 90 pounds of Fiske's salary, were
declined. Particulars may be found in Adams, Lunt, ^Marshall, and Pattee,
and, according to depositions of parties interested there were questionable meas-
ures resorted to. "After long and serious differences the members of the first par-
ish were compelled to yield to a division," and then there was a litigation respect-
ing Fiske's salary. About one-half of the parishioners and supporters were with-
drawn on forming the south precinct, where Hugh Adams, H. U., 1697, was settled
at the gathering of a church, Sept. 10, 1707, at Alonotoquod, now Braintree. Dur-
ing Fiske's ministry there were 147 persons admitted to his church and 799 bap-
tized. From a diary in the library of the Massachusetts Historical Society which
was kept by John Marshall, a mason, though formerly thought to be one Fairchild,
it appears that Fiske "continued till his dying day, a dilligent, faithful Labourer in
the harvest of Jesus Christ. Studious in the holy scriptures, having an extraor-
dinary Gift in prayer, above many good men and in preaching equall to the most;
inferior to few, zealously dilligent for God and the good of men, one who thought
no Labour, Cost of Suffering too dear a Price for the good of his people; his
publick preaching was attended with Convinceing Light and clearness and pow-
erful affectionate aplication, and his private oversight was performed with impar-
tiallity, humility and unwearied diligence; he lived till he was near 65 years of age,
beloved and honored of the most that knew him; on the i8th of July, being the
Lord's day, he preached all day in publick. But he was not well. Going home
from his publick Labors he went ill to bed. The distemper. Continued proved a.
malignant feaver. So that Litel hopes of recovery apearing his church assembled!
together and earnestly besought the Great Shepherd of the sheep, that they might
not be deprived of him. But heaven had otherwise determined for, on Tuesday,.
Aug. 10 (1708), he dyed about one afternoon." He was m. Sept. 9, 1671, by Capt..
Gookin, assistant, to Sarah, dau. of William Symmes, of Charlestown or Woburn.
She d. Dec. 2, 1692. They had fourteen children, of whom six died in infancy.

Mr. Fiske was placed in the tomb where lie his two wives and his successor,
Joseph Marsh, H. U., 1705, besides others. On his tombstone is this inscription:
"Braintree! They prophet's gone, this tomb inters

In the library of the Massachusetts Historical Society a manuscript sermon
delivered before the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1694. The text
is taken from Eph. vi., 14. "Stand them therefore so." It is noticeable that one
item in the inventory of Fiske's is "His Armour."

The ministerial tomb was erected by the Rev. Moses Fiske, the third minister
of the first church, in which he and his two wives were buried. After his death
this tomb was selected as the ministerial sepulcher in which all the ministers of the
first church have been interred with the exception of Mr. Thompson and Mr. Flint.
Over the grave of the latter was placed a large flat stone, as was then the custom,
to prevent the wild beasts from removing the remains of the dead from their
last resting place. Not long before the decease of the Rev. Peter Whitney the
monument over the tomb was renewed by the ladies of Quincy, with granite, and
the freestone tablet that surmounted it was preserved."

Simon, William, Symond), bap. Wenham, Mass., June 4, 1642-43; m. there, Jan.
IS, 1662, Sarah Kilham, b. 1649; d. Jan. 26, 1737. Austin Kilham, with his brother
Daniel, emigrated from the Parish of Kilham, Yorkshire, England, the same year,
and probably in company with the Fiskes. Both settled and were freemen in
Wenham before 1645, and are presumed to be the ancestors of all New England
families of that name. Austin, by wife Alice, had Lot, born Sept. 11, 1640, who
settled and died in Enfield; and Sarah, born Jan. 24, 1642, who married Deacon
William Fiske, and died Jan. 26, 1737 (as the record says), "aged 98." Her father,
and probably his brother, followed Rev. John Fiske to Chelmsford, 1657. Her
cousin, Daniel Kilham, Jr., figured conspicuously in town affairs for many years,
and his son, Hon. Daniel Kilham (a democrat), was the formidable antagonist
of Hon. Timothy Pickering in many a hotly contested campaign in Essex politics.
Killim Austin made his will 2d 4 mo 1667 which was proved Sept 24 1667 Inv
of his estate taken nth 4 mo 1667 and Allace widow of Austin Killum made her
will July 3, 1667. In his will is mentioned sons Lott & John — She in her will
mentions son Daniel — dau. Elizth Hutten who then had a daughter named Elizth
— Daughter Sarah Fisk Daughters Mary & Ruth — Daniel's wife — granddaughter
Mary Killum & son Lott.
He was a weaver bytrade. He held a number of town ofifices; was representative
in 1701-04-11-13 and 1714; was moderator in 1702-03, 1712-13 and 1714. He was also
called lieutenant. He was elected deacon of the Congregational church in 1679.
They were the parents of fourteen children, ten of whom grew up and had families.
Of these seven were sons. He died universally esteemed and lamented. His son
Ebenezer was executor of his will.

ords, Feb. 2, 1686, Tabitha Butterick. He was not mentioned in his father's will.
James Fiske and Samuel Fiske were among the early settlers of Groton, Mass.,
and are supposed to have been brothers. But little is known of their history.
It is not definitely known where they originated, nor what became of them. No
record or monument of their deaths or emigration has been found. The same is
true of their immediate descendants, with one, or at most, two, exceptions. It is
believed, however, that James and Samuel Fiske were sons of James Fiske, of
Haverhill, Mass., who was the grandson of Thomas, the third son of Robert and
Sibyl (Gould) Fiske, of England. Some of the considerations that have lead to this
belief are as fellows: It has been ascertained that James, of Haverhill, had two
sons named James and Samuel; that James was born in 1649 and Samuel in 1658,
but all trace of them appears to have been lost, unless James and Samuel of Groton
are the same, and if the same, James would have been 41 years old when his first
child was born in Groton and 56 when his last. Samuel would have been 46 when
his eldest, and 62 when his youngest child was born. This is not improbable.
They may have married late in life, or may have had children before coming to
Groton. The circumstance that two persons should disappear from one section of
the country, and that two about the same time should appear in another section
not very remote, bearing the same names and of similar ages, is pretty strong
evidence that they are identical, and further the name Samuel seems not to have
been very common in the early history of the Fiskes in this country, and if the
two above mentioned are identical, the lineage of all. or nearly all, bearing that
name can be traced. There were subsequently other families of Fiskes in Groton,
but with a single exception it is not known that they were connected with those
of James and Samuel. In the history of Groton, the name Fiske is uniformly

John Fiske was made freeman in 1685; he practiced physic and surgery in Wen-

1694, when he was admitted to the church. Sons born in Wenham were Phineas.
Ebenezer, John and Benjamin — all born in Wenham. Dr. John Fiske was a physi-
cian of some prominence in his day, and his children inherited from him or acquired
large landed property. He disposed of his estate in Wenham Nov. 15, 1693. In
proof of his identity Remember Goodhue, formerly Remember Fiske, certifies that
she was the natural mother of the said John, that the property belonged to him,
the same being inherited. [Essex Co. Reg. Deeds.]

Doctor Fiske was a physician of respectability and was accounted skillful in
thearts of physick and chirurgery while in Wenham, as appears from the subjoined
certificates of commendation copied from the original papers preserved among the
state papers of Connecticut at Hartford. We also have his own petition to the
General Court for a license, which was granted after his removal to Milford. His
professional reputation gave him an elevated position among his medical brethren
in his new field of labor. His widow Hannah and second son Ebenezer adminis-
tered on his estate.
To Mr. John Fiske Doctor; in Milford.
Yours I received bearing date Jan. 29th, 1695. Glad to hear of your welfare

you. The subscribers of Ipswich are Collonell Appleton, the 2 ministers, Major
Eps, Deacon Goodhue & Mr. Everson minister att Gloster. And of Wenham
myself the deacon, and the selectman, I suppose I might have obtained as many
as I would have asked, none refusing who were desired, we wish you all pros-
perity in temporals &• spirituals, a blessing on your family and on your calling,
etc. Your good mother hath been sick & weeke most part of this winter
desires to hear from you, as doth the deacon, etc. We have nothing new. Indi-
ans have not appeared this winter; we are expecting we shal hear of them

of ym the Lord prepare us for trouble, the fruits of our evil ways.
So not to trouble you more at present, but rest your friend to serve you.

These may certify all whom it may concern, that Mr. John Fiske, late of Wen-
ham, in the County of Essex in N. E. ; hath for many years with good success,
practiced in the arts of physick and chirurgery & hath made many notable cures
among us & hath generally been accounted one of good skill & understanding
in many maladies & their remedies of which some of us have had experience
(& others) credible information & doe therefore hereunto subscribe our names
this 2ist of Feb., 1695. William Fiske, Samuel Appleton and ten others.
My opinion is of small weight, but being desired I can say that I have so
much acquaintance with Mr. Fiske that makes me desire that he may have a
license to practice in physic & chirurgic, in the Colony, which I hope may be for
the good of many. Apr. 4, 1695, I also am of the same mind, Samuel Mather and
two others.
According to the Connecticut Colonial records of May, 1695, John Fisk was
FISKE GENEALOGY. 77
granted liberty to practice phissick and chirurgery. A note states Mr. John
Fisk had practiced medicine several years in Wenham, Mass., but has now settled
in Milford.
At the general assembly session of Oct., 1702, "Mr. John Fisk informs this
court that he had received a considerable wound in the former Indian wares,
therefore requested this court release him from the payment of the country rates
for the future, it is therefore ordered that said John Fisk be freed Irom paying
Countrey rates for the future, viz., during his natural life."

236. REV. JOHN FISKE (Moses, John, John, William, Robert, Simon,
Simon, William, Symond), b. Braintrec, Mass., Nov. 26, 1684; m. Nov. 26, 1717,
Abigail Hobart, dau. of Rev. Nehemiah Hobart, of Newton, Alass. He was born
in that part of Quincy subsequently incorporated as Braintree, educated at the
public schools and by his father and graduated at Harvard in 1702. After his
father's death he preached in the Braintree church and was ordained pastor of
the church in Killingly, Conn., Oct. 19, 1715, his brother-in-law. Rev. Joseph
Baxter, of Medfield, preaching the sermon. There remained until 1741, when dis-
affection arose in the church. He was dismissed by council and subsequently
retired upon his large landed estate in Killingly, where he died.
July 16, 171 1, the town of Killingly agreed to give Mr. Fiske three hundred
and fifty acres of land for his encouragement to settle in the work of the ministry.
James Leavens and Sampson Howe were appointed a committee to lay out the
land; Eleazer Bateman and Ephraim Warren to survey it. Two hundred acres
were laid out to him on French River, beyond the bounds of Killingly as it after-
wards proved. Seventy-five acres for the homestead were selected on the eastern
slope of Killingly Hill, and seventy-five on Assawaga or Five-Mile River.
Stated religious services w-ere probably held after this date by Mr. Fiske, though
some years passed before his settlement.
In the summer of 1714 the meeting-house was raised and covered. Its site
was east of the Plainlield road, about one-fourth of a mile south of the present
East Putnam meeting-house. Nothing is known of its size and appearance, or of
the circumstances of its building. In the ensuing summer it was made ready for oc-
cupation and preparations made for church organization. Sept. 15, 1715, was
observed in Killingly as a day of solemn fasting and prayer, preparatory to the
gathering of a church and the ordination of a pastor.
"October 19, 171^. a church was publicly gathered in Killingly and John Fiske
ordained the pastor of it." Mr. Dwight, of Woodstock, opened the service with
prayer. Reverend Mr. Baxter, of Medfield, preached from Romans i: 16. Rev.
Mr. Thatcher, of Milton, gave the charge to the minister and made the preceding
and subsequent praycis. The first marriage recorded by the young minister was
that of William Earned to Hannah, the first of the seven notable daughters of
Simon Bryant. Mr. Fiske was himself married to Abigail, daughter of Rev.
Nehemiah Hobart, of Newton, Mass., and sister of Mr. Samuel Estabrook, of
Canterbury. The only incident of his domestic life that has come down to us,
is the burning of his house and all its contents one Sabbath, when the family
were attending public worship. The ministry of Mr. Fiske was acceptable and
prosperous, and large numbers were added to the church. His pastoral charge
comprehended also the inhabitants north of Killingly, who were allowed to pay
church rates, if not other town charges. Mr. Fiske was remarkably minute and
methodical in the registry of church records, keeping separate lists of those unit-
ing with the church by profession and by letter and of those owning the covenant.
Very full lists of marriages and baptisms were preserved by him, which acquired
additional value from the total lack of town records during the greater part of his
ministry. Of the salary and settlement allowed to him nothing further is known,
save that the hundred acres of land given by Capt. Chandler to the first settled
minister of Killingly, "which land by the ordering of Divine Providence appertains
to John Fiske" — were laid out to him in 1721, west of Five-Mile River, a half mile
east of the meeting-house.
Killingly's persistent attempts to secure posses^i^on of this land occasioned
much trouble and confusion. Two hundred acres promised by the town to the
Rev. Mr. Fiske, were laid out in Thompson's land, and Hascall and Spalding
were encouraged in their unlawful appropriations of Cotton's and Collin's grants.
In 1721 the selectmen of Killingly without permission from Government pro-
ceeded to lay out this colony land and apportion it among her own inhabitants
and its consenting residents. The Mass. Government wrote to Conn, in behalf
of Cotton and Collins and received assurance that their claims should be made up
to them in the ungranted land near Woodstock. In 1726 Paul and William Dud-
ley, Josiah Wolcott and Samuel Morris represented to the General Court, "that
Killingly, by what right they knew not, had laid out large quantities of land north
of her prescribed bound, which was unjust and destructive of their rights," and
begged relief. Joseph Leavens and Joseph Cady were summoned to answer in
behalf of Killingly proprietors, and insisted that the land thus laid out was in-
80 FISKE GENEALOGY.
eluded within their patent. The court pronounced their plea sufficient, but
ordered patents to be granted and executed to such grantees "as shall show
grants and surveys made by Mass." Though this decision admitted Killingly's
claim to Connecticut's share of this colony land, she was still dissatisfied, and
persisted in her efforts to recover the tracts to Massachusetts' grantees.
The various public enterprises in which Killingly engaged, and her expensive
controversy with Thompson and Massachusetts proprietors, absorbed much of
her income, and she often found it difficult to meet her ordinary expenses. In
1734 the town voted "If any person or persons shall have money sufficient to pro-
cure a book for ye record of deeds of the town, they shall have ye same refunded,
and repaid them again." Shepherd Fisk and Jacob Dresser were able to advance
the requisite sum, which was repaid them after a long interval. Simon Bryant,
chosen in 1731 "to wait on the Rev. John Fiske in case he goes to Hartford, and
to assist him and to represent him in his absence in case the said Mr. Fiske cannot
go." after ten years' delay was reimbursed the four pounds expended in that
service.
The ministry to Mr. Fiske was acceptable and profitable to his people until
a rupture occurred, from some cause not now manifest. "At a regular meeting
of the first church of Killingly, July 8, 1741, after the meeting was opened by
prayer, Mr. Fiske upon the advice of neighboring ministers, moved to the church
to dismiss him from his pastoral relations." His request was granted by a clear
majority. The Windham County association was called, "To consider and deter-
mine the differences and difficulties between Rev. Fisk and the church, arising
from several scandalous reports spread abroad concerning Mr. Fiske." Deacon
Bateman, Justice Leavens, Samuel Danielson, Ebenezer Knight and Gideon
Draper were appointed a committee to represent the church and provide for the
council. No record of the result is given, but it probably confirmed the dis-
missal of Mr. Fiske. The nature of the charges against him is not declared, but
a succeeding pastor, with opportunity of judgment, was of opinion that they were
not of any immorality. The church, at this date, numbered over four hundred
members. Mr. Fiske, during his ministry, performed 763 baptisms, admitted 254
into full communion, and 148 to the half-way covenant. Aug., 1741, the com-
mittee of the church applied to the Association for a minister, and were rec-
ommended to several candidates, but did not succeed in securing one.
The loss of the minister was soon followed by a protracted and violent con-
troversy respecting a meeting-house. The rude church edifice of 1715 was quite
inadequate for the populous and thriving township of 1741, and the inhabitants of
the south society were called together, Sept. 13, to see if they would vote to build
a new meeting-house.
Mr. Fiske, the former pastor, was one of the new pastor's constant hearers,
having built himself a pew in the new meeting-house and bearing his part in all
society charges.

He was the youngest son of Rev. Moses Fiske, of Braintree, educated at the
public schools and was graduated at Harvard College in 1708, where his name ap-
pears on the roll without the e. He was ordained minister of the first church in
Salem in Oct., 1718. Says Bentley, in his Memorial Sermon: Rev. Samuel Fiske
was a man of eminent talents in the pulpit, of a firm and persevering mind, and
held in high esteem till dissensions sprang up in the society from the ill-defined
discipline then existing in our churches. He was a preacher of real abilities, but
his high notions of church authority were repugnant to many persons and pre-
vented his usefulness. He was dismissed from the First Church in 1735 and ac-
cepted the charge of a new society established by his friends. He preached the
first centenary lecture of the First Church Aug. 6, 1729. The election sermon
delivered by him before the Governor and Legislature in 1731 may be ranked
among the best. It was published and a copy of it is preserved among the State
archives. Rev. Mr. Fiske was dismissed from the Third Church in 1745, when
he retired from the public ministry. He was connected by marriage with one of
the most flourishing families in Salem.

in Bridgewater, Mass., and died there. But very little was known of him, for in
1803 Mr. William Winthrop, of Cambridge, who, for some time past, had been
engaged in a pursuit rather extraordinary, knew nothing of him. Winthrop in-
vestigated the following particulars of every one who has received a degree at
Harvard College, from the first foundation of that University in 1648 to the
present time; viz., the origination or where born, his professional business or
employment, his place of residence, time of his death and age; also anything re-

Reed, dau. of Capt. William of Lexington, b. May 29, 1687. His name first appears
upon the Lex. parish records in 1707, when Corpl. Jonathan Fiske was chosen one
of the assessors. He was also a subscriber for the purchase of the common in
171 1, though the church records show that his dau. Abigail was bap. in 1704, when
he owned the covenant. He and his wife united with the church in 1708. He had
a family of fourteen children, five of whom were b. in Lex., and the rest in
Sudbury, to which place he moved about 1713, where he was a deacon. He and
his wife were dismissed to the Sudbury church in 1718. His will, dated Nov. 13,
1740, mentions wife Abigail, ^ j sons and seven daus., two of his children having
died before that period. /

William, Symond), b. Watertown, Mar. 8. 16^; m. May 26, 1718, Mary Stimpson,
of Reading, b. ; d. Feb. 11, 1757. In 171 1 he was a subscriber for the pur-
chase of the common. He was ad. to the church in 1736. His residence was on
Hancock street, where his father David had resided, and was one of the first set-
tled places in the township. The present, which is probably the second house on
FISKE GENEALOGY.

that spot, was erected in 1732. Robert Fiske was a physician, and probably the
first of the profession in that place. His wife survived him but a few years.
The inventory of his estate sheds light upon the manners and customs of the
age. Among other things, we find the following: Hat and wig iocs; Arms —
yellow stock gun, 8£ 10s; little gun 5^; carbine 50s; brass pistols 50s; rapier and
belt I2s; three staves 20s; two cans and two piggens 15s; one loom, quill wheel and
warping bars, 50s; two pairs snow shoes 30s. Books — General Practice of Physic,
30s; English Dispensatory or Synopsis of Medicine 30s. The Structure and Condi-
tion of Bones 15s. By these items, it will be seen that the doctor was quite as well
armed for the art of war as for the art of healing.
In the distribution of the estate of Dr. Robert Fiske, all of the real estate went
to the older brothers of John, so that no deed from him appears to have been
thereafter needed and in fact has not been found. 25 April, 1757, Robert Fiske of
Woburn, Physician, gave to Joseph Fiske of Lexington, Physician and Jonas
Parker of Lexington, laborer, a bond for £27, conditioned that David Fiske on
coming of age would convey to Jonas Parker and Joseph Fiske his share in that
one third of the estate of Robert Fiske, Physician of Lexington, deceased, which
had been set ofif to his mother, Mary Fiske, widow of the said Robert. The sure-
ties were John Fiske of Lexington, Dr. Jonathan and David Fiske of Woburn,
John Buckman of Lexington and Mary his wife, and Lydia Wilson, widow of
Lexington. These sureties were evidently the brothers and sisters of Robert,
Joseph and David Fiske, mentioned in the body of the bond. 5 December, 1757.
John Buckman of Lexington, filed his bond as administrator of that part of the
estate of Dr. Robert Fiske, left unadministered by his widow, Mary, the sureties
on the bond being John Fiske, Physician, of Lexington and John Fiske of Wo-
burn, yeoman. He died Apr. 18, 1753; res. Lexington, Mass.

of the British the next morning. Shots were fired from this
house upon the red coats after they had attacked the Americans
upon the common, and some of the clapboards to this day
give evidence that the fire was returned. Hist. Lex. 426.

burying ground at Lex. has the honorable prefix of Lieut, to his name. He
appears to have been popular in his day, having been called to fill many ofiices in
the town. He was selectman ten years, between 1739 and 1758. He resided on the
road to Concord, a little more than a mile from the common, at the easterly side
of a large swell of land, which from his residence and ownership has taken the
name of "Fiske Hill." It was at this house that the gallant Hayward of Acton
met a British soldier coming from the well, between whom shots were exchanged,
with fatal efifect on both sides. Benjamin, my son, "was to have my negro boy
Pompee or if sd. do not survive me £30 in lieu thereof." He d. Dec. 19, 1775; res.

We find the following under the heading of "Sketches of Prominent Men"
in the history of New Milford: "Ebenezer Fisk, Sen., came from Milford in 1737,
and settled on Second hill, or on the west side of Town hill. His father, Doct.
John Fisk of Milford, bought a Right of land in New Milford, in 1709, and gave
half of it to his son Ebenezer, the same year, but the latter did not settle here
until 1737. Ebenezer, Sen., had a son Ebenezer Jr. who married and had a son
Ichabod, born in 1747, and apparently removed from the town not many years
after.

cessor of Rev. Jer. Hobart, and died there, after a very successful pastorate of
twenty-four years. Rev. Dr. D. D. Field, in his biographies of the early Connecti-
cut clergy, speaks of him in high praise. "He was a man of piety and wisdom,
sound in the faith, pleasant in intercourse, plain in reproof. His talents were
solid, rather than brilliant; his sermons better calculated to inform the understand-
ing than to remove the passions. A man of scientific attainments, of good literary
abilities, and of true Christian deportment, his name was long remembered with
sincere respects, in Haddam." Rev. Phinehas Fiske was married in Saybrook, and

of John and Elizabeth (Staats) Wendell and grandson of Evart Jansen and
Wendell, who came from Embden, Prussia in 1645 and settled in Albany. Sarah's
mother, Elizabeth Quincy, was daughter of Hon. Edmund and Dorothy (Flint)
Quincy of Braintree, who died in London in 1737: and granddaughter of Col. Ed-
mund and Elizabeth Gookin (Elliot) Quincy. Her daughter Sarah Gerry m. in 1785

Gerry, who was father of Hon. Elbridge Gerry, at one time vice president of

of the Rev. Samuel Fiske, who was ord. at Salem. 8 Oct. 1718, when his was the
only Church within the limits of the town. He died April 7th, 1770, ae. 81. The
venerable Nathan Bucknam of Medway, who died Feb., 1795, ae. 92, was uncle
to Gen. Fiske, whom he baptized at Salem, 6 JMay (1744). Gen Fiske "early en-
gaged in the business of the Sea." In 1775 he was a master mariner and became
captain of the "Tyrannicide," the first war-vessel commissioned by the state of
Massachusetts, 8 July, 1776. He made many successful cruises in her, and was
engaged in several sanguinary combats. On 10 Dec, 1777 he took command
of the state ship "Massachusetts," a larger and a better vessel. After the Rev. war
he engaged in commercial pursuits and acquired property. At the commence-
ment of the American Revolution, his knowledge of the sea and personal in-
trepidity brought him into notice, and he was commissioned the first commander
of a vessel of war by the government. At the close of the war, upon the reor-
ganization of the State militia, he was commissioned a Colonel, then a Brigadier,
FISKE GENEALOGY. 103
and finally, in 1792, a Major General, which position he held until his death, in
September, 1797.
He was a man of princely hospitality, of enterprising spirit, and benevolent
impulses. ' He took a great interest in the various religious and charitable move-
ments of his day, and contributed freely to their support.
There are more transfers of property on the Salem records of deeds from Gen.
John Fiske than any other one of this name, and in ten volumes of the records he
is about the only Fiske mentioned. He was a very large property owner and
was continually buying and selling real estate. I give these few transfers to show
something of his purchases:

Upton, Jan. 28, 1739, Dorcas Tyler, an aunt of President John Tyler.
The original Indian name of the territory, embraced in the town of Shelburne,
was "Quabbin." On the 30th of June, 1732, the General Court granted seven
townships of land, si.x miles square each, to the descendants of the soldiers \yho
destroyed the Narraganset^fort, on the 19th of Dec, 1675. The number of soldiers
was 840. This gave a township of six miles square to each 120 soldiers. These
townships were granted on condition that each township should settle at least
60 families on its territory within seven years after the grant, settle a learned
Orthodox minister, and lay out a lot of land for him and one for the school.
If these conditions were not complied with the grant was to be void. On the 6th
of June, 1733, the proprietors met on Boston Common, at 2 o'clock in the after-
noon, when they voted that the grantees should be divided into seven societies,
one township to be given to each society. Narraganset township No. 4 was first
laid out in New Hampshire, but the committee reported that it was not fit for a
settlement. Accordingly, on the I4,th of Jan., 1737, the General Court granted
to the proprietors of No. 4 the territory of Quabbin in exchange for the New
Hampshire township. After surveying Quabbin, it was found to contain consid-
erably less than six miles square. So the Court granted a tract of land lying west
of, and adjoining to, Hatfield, sufiticient to make up the full amount of territory
to which the grantees were entitled. This tract is now embraced within the
boundaries of Chesterfield. The territory of Shelburne was originally included in
Deerfield, and was at first called "The Deerfield Pasture," and afterward "Deerfield
North West." It l^egan to be settled not far from 1756. The first two settlements
were made near Shelburne Falls, by families from Deerfield. The early settlers
were soon obliged to retire, on account of the French and Indian war. The first
permanent settlements are supposed to have been made about 1760. Among the
first settlers was Ebenezer Fisk. The town was incorporated June 21, 1768, and
was named after Lord Shelburne of England, who, according to the usual tradi-
tion, gave the town a bell which, as usual, was lost after it had arrived at Boston.
The first town meeting was held Oct. 31, 1768, at the house of Daniel Nims. Capt.
John Wells, from Deerfield, was the first town clerk; Ebenezer Fiske, constable.
Among the descendants of Ebenezer and Dorcas were seven who entered the
Christian ministry, inclusive of Rev. Pliny Fiske, of the Syrian mission. Rev.
Dr. Ezra Fiske, of Goshen, N. Y., and Rev. Dr. D. T. Fiske, of Newburyport,
Mass.
A valuable cane, supposed to have been brought from England and willed by
the Deacon to his second son, has been inherited by a male in this family in every
generation since, the last possessor being Ebenezer Fiske of Adrian, Mich. Eben-
ezer and Dorcas resided in Upton, later moving to Grafton, thence to Hardwick,
and finally locating in Shelburne, where he died.

25, 1749, Susannah Batchelder, of Wenham. blie m. 2d, Benjamin Davis. She
was b. 1731; d. 1810.
Joseph Bachelder, the first representative from Wenham (1644), emigrated in
1638, in company with his brothers, Henry and Joshua, who went to Ipswich, and
John, who settled with him at Salem. Joseph soon after removed to Wen-
ham, and, according to Dr. Allen, his descendants continue there to this day.
Among his children (probably) were Joseph, Mark, David, John and Ebenezer.
Ebenezer was constable in 1714, and Mark was one of the five drafted in King
Philip's war and perished in the fierce assault upon the fort of the Narragansetts,
1675. David Bachelder, a grandson of Joseph, Sen., by wife Susanna, had sons
David, Joseph, Amos, Nehemiah and Abraham, and daughters Alary and Susanna.
The latter married William Fiske, Sen., of Amherst. Her brothers Joseph, Amos,
and cousins Israel, Josiah and Ebenezer, were Revolutionary soldiers. The name
on the records is frequently spelled Batcheller and Bachelor.
David Batchelder made his will Aug. 25, 1759. which was proved Mar. 11,
1766. Wife Susannah to have the Easterly end ot the house &c, son David, son
Joseph, son Nehemiah — son Abraham — Daughter ]\Iary to have ten shillings &c —
Daughter Susannah to have ten shillings to be paid at the end of one year after
my decease also my largest Brass Kettle — son Amos to have the whole estate
excepting the above legacy, to be executor.
Wm resided in Wenham, Mass., and in 1774 removed to Amherst, N. H.,
where they settled on a tract of land on the south side erf Walnut Hill. He was
the executor of his father's will. He was the founder of the Amherst, N. H.,
branch. He resided at the ancient homestead in Wenham, where probably his
father, himself and his own children were all born, after the decease or removal
of his parents and immediate relatives. Of himself personally, little is known,
except that in his character and principles he was a stanch Puritan. His father
and grandfather were successively deacons in the original Wenham church for
upwards of seventy years; the same ancient church of which Rev. John Fiske
himself was the original pastor. More remotely still the family had been identified
with that great reformatory struggle in England, from which were fathered the
rich fruits for a purer faith and constitutional liberty.
Having been appointed sole executor of his will and principal heir by Deacon
Ebenezer Fiske, William Fiske remained in Wenham long enough to settle the
estate and dispose of the homestead and various tracts of land, when (in 1773 or 4)
he removed to Amherst, N. H., with his wife Susanna, nine children and two
daughters-in-law, Mary Bragg, the wife of their son Jonathan and Eunice Nourse,
wife of their son William. The father. William, Sen., purchased a tract of land in
Amherst. The situation was cozy, well sheltered and watered, but the country
then was mostly a wilderness and the land rough, rocky and heavily timbered,
requiring immense labor and sturdy courage to clear it. off. The fatigue and ex-
posure incidental to establishing the new home under such straitened cir-
cumstances, doubtless bore hard on all the members of the family, and must have

contributed directly to the father's death, as he lived but a few years after. But
they were glad to get away from the disturbances then thickening along the sea-
board, and in hopes that the distance from the seat of impending (British) war,
would in a measure secure them from its horrors that are attended with every war,
its privations and hardships.
Mr. Fiske lived to see his country proclaimed free and independent and his
family settled in comparative comfort, and died in 1777, in the 82d year of his age.
His widow Susanna was appointed administratrix of his estate June ID, 1777.
His widow, surviving many years, married again and died about 1810 at quite an
advanced age. Of their sons and daughters all except Anne married, and she
and two others excepted William and David remained in Amherst, and settled
elsewhere. Some of them raised large families and all more or less prospered in
circumstances and the good esteem of their fellow-citizens. Of them all it is
believed that it may be truly said that their lives were blameless and their end calm
and full of peace.

During the French and Indian conflict we find the names of some of the
Boxford men who wore in the service. They were in the company of Capt. Joseph
Frye, of Andover, doing service at Scarborough. The time of service of Samuel
Fiske was from April 27, 1748, to May i. 1749. His wife was sick while he was
serving as soldier in the French and Indian war. Mrs. Fiske had probably gone
to the fort to help take care of the sick, and fell a victim to the disorder. The
winter was close upon them, and considerable snow having already fallen, the
soldiers proceeded to Ticonderoga, where they encamped over night and hurried
on their homeward way next morning. They marched in as direct a line as pos-
sible, through Vermont and New Hampshire, and reached home just before the
first of December.

He was born in Watertown, Mass., and while a young man emigrated to the
colony of Connecticut and located in Windham, one of the oldest places in that
state, where he ever after resided. Eli C. Fisk, of Havanna, 111., in writing in re-
lation to his ancestor said: "Our ancestor dropped the final e from the family
name and settled first in Mass., and when Hooker went to Conn, in 1636 he ac-
companied him. Many of his descendants still remain in Conn., but in the early
days some went into Rhode Island. Hence the early Conn, and R. I. Fisks dropped
the final vowel from their names. In the fall of 1867 or spring of 1868 James
Fisk (one of my father's brothers) of Omro, Wis., paid me a visit; he also told me
the same story in respect to our ancestors being one of Hooker's party and that
he was the person that dropped the final e of the family name. Also my father
told me the same, and it came in this way. I received a letter from Stephen Fisk
(another brother of my father) of Wales, Mass., who lived on the old homestead
there that signed the letter e to his son's name. Both of my parents said it did
not belong there, and that the Fisk that emigrated to Windham, Conn., with
Hooker dropped it, and none of the family had ever assumed it since. Now you
have my authority for my statement."

was daughter of Jason and Abigail (Clark) Rice, and was born in Sudbury.
The father died there Feb. 19, 1729, ae. 38. The widow then married Dec. 7, 1741,
Nathaniel Haven of Framingham. Soon after the death of Jason, the widow
was appointed guardian of the three children. Nov. 23, 1741, Abigail, with the
other two children, chose Jason Gleason in her stead. Jason Rice was the son
of Dea. Edmund and Joyce (Russell) Rice of Cambridge. When the father died
the other heirs deeded the Sudbury property to Jason, upon which he subse-
quently resided, and where he died. Nathaniel Haven was a member of the
Framingham church when constituted; was constable in 1707; selectman in 1706.
He d. July 20, 1746. Samuel was born nine years after the marriage of his par-
ents; he was the third and youngest child, the other two being Jason and Hepzi-
bath. He was b. Feb. 8, 1762, and went from Sherburne to Barre with his parents
when he was about nine years old, and died there in 1832. His father Samuel,
and son Samuel are also buried in Barre, I believe. He d. in Barre, Mass.; res.
Sudbury, Sherburne and Barre, Mass.
By the will of his father, Johnathan, who died in 1740, he was given "26 acres
of land in Sudbury on the east side of the river called the Neck." He moved
to Sudbury and was married there, and soon afterward sold his 26 acres and moved
to Sherborn, moving later to Barre, Mass., where he died.

a resident of Holden. He was one of the prominent men in the town and for
years, from Mar. 31, 1762, was deacon of the church. Among papers belonging to
the Rev. Mr. Avery, pastor of the church, I have found a small memorandum
book, which contains some entries of peculiar interest. The book bears date
1782. That was a period of great distress among the people. The war had
been long. Money was scarce, and it was with some difficulty that Mr. Avery
received his annual salary. His parishioners, however, were disposed to share
with their pastor, the good things of life. "Memorandum of gifts received." "Of
Deacon Hubbard, a piece of beef; a pail of soap; a loaf of bread; a few candles;
two quarts of milk; a cheese, and four pounds of butter." "Of Mr. Abbott, a
piece of beef and of pork; also a spare-rib; three candles; some malt and a piece
of bread, also two wash tubs and thirty nails, and a few hops." "Of Lieut. Hub-
bard, a piece of beef, a cheese and some malt." "Of Mr. Ebn. Estabrook, a leg
of pork." "Of Deacon Fiske, a piece of beef, Jan. Sth."
The ladies of that day were equally thoughtful in regard to the wants of the
Parish Priest. "Of Mrs. Benj. Flagg, a cheese." "Of Mrs. Fiske, a lb. of combed
flax." "Of Mrs. Elisha Hubbard, some flax."
David Fiske was town clerk 1783-6-8-9; selectman, 1761-2-9-71-77-78-83; asses-
sor, 1 767-9-71-7-8-83-5-7-8. When the census of the town was taken in 1773 his
family consisted of eight persons. He served in the local militia company as pri-
vate before and during the Revolutionary War.

was in Lex. in 1764, and she was a widow in 1767; he must have died between these
periods. In 1767 Wid. Betty Fiske bought eighty acres of land in Lex. bounded
easterly on the Woburn line and westerly by land of Lemuel Simonds. Her will,
dated Dec. 4, 1770, and proved in 1771, mentions sons Robert, John and David
and daus. Betty and Ruth. The record of this family is quite defective. Like
his father, he was a physician by profession, and appears to have resided in many
places. In 1760 he was in the French and Indian war. In 1757 in Woburn, and in
1764 he ret. to Lex.

was called "Weaver David." He was famous as a hunter. Though the wild game
was not very plenty in his day, he contributed greatly to thin off the deer, bears,
etc. He ran down and killed a stately buck on the hill over which the Burlingame
road ran, and hence it has taken the name of "Buck's Hill." There is no record
of his family. He d. July 20, 1815; res. Lexington, Mass.

Joanna Rand of Boston. Their children, as far as we have ascertained, were:
Isabella, b. 1735, d. July 31, 1752; Elizabeth; Sarah Cotton, b. Oct. 19, 1739. After
Mr. Cotton's dismission he removed to Plymouth, Mass., where he d. Nov. 27,
1768, ae. 57 years. Mrs. Cotton survived him, and was married to Mr. Jonathan
Gilman of Exeter.
To show how little one knows of their ancestors I give this. A great-grand-
son of Dr. Fiske in writing to the compiler in 1896 says: "Our branch of the
Fisk family, unfortunately, I have been unable to trace back beyond the landing
in New York about 1781. My great-grandfather was a physician, evidently from
a prominent English family. The place from which, and the date of his departure
from England, we cannot discover, nor do we know his name, as he died on the
FISKE GENEALOGY. 123
passage over. He was a widower with three small children, but his mother
attended him on the passage. The names of the three orphan children who
landed in New York about 1781, under the care of their grandmother, were: Eben-
ezer Fisk, Isabella Fisk and Cotton Fisk. The evidence that our great-grandfather
came from a wealthy family in England is supposed from the fact that among his
effects, landing in New York, which jny grandfather had, was a great chest con-
taining a costly wardrobe, a number of velvet suits, etc., a tortoise shell jewel box
with many jewels, and his medical and surgical instruments. This jewel case is
now in the possession of Cotton N. Fisk, at Abbotsford, P. Q., Canada."

in the realm of Mental Philosophy he had no superiors in his
church. As a preacher he was always master of his theme and
audience. His style was logical, polished, always forcible, and
at times impassioned; his eloquence, the rich overflow of a well-
stored mind sanctified by grace. He labored to win souls, not
to himself but to Christ, and not many have had more seals to

their ministry. Nearly six hundred sound and permanent cun-
versions were the fruits of his devoted labors. In his ais-
courses he was accustomed to address both the understanding
and the feelings, the reason and the passions of men. To a
personal dignity and nobleness of manner, he added a purity
of purpose, sweetness of temper and benignity of heart irresist-
ibly fascinating. No one ever doubted his piety, his sincerity
or devotion; and he lived in Goshen twenty years without mak-

was graduated at Middlebury College in 1814, and at Andover
Theological Seminary in 1818. He was appointed, with Levi
Parsons, by the American board, to the Palestine Mission, in
1818, and sailed from Boston for Smyrna, Nov. 3, 1819. On
his arrival in Smyrna, he spent some time in perfecting his
knowledge of the oriental languages, and then traveled through
Egypt, Arabia, Palestine and Syria, preaching, holding confer-
ence meetings and distributing copies of the Bible. He resided
at various times in Jerusalem, Damascus, Antioch, Alexandria
and Beyrut where he died. After traveling extensively in
Greece, Egypt, Palestine and Syria, he joined, in May, 1825,
the mission already established at Beyrut, and died there of
fever in the following October. Mr. Fisk was eminently fitted
to be a missionary in the east, as he preached in Italian, French,
Greek and Arabic. On the day of his death, he completed an
"English and Arabic dictionary," and wrote numerous papers
for the "Missionary Herald." A life of Pliny Fisk was pub-
lished by Alvin Bond (Boston, 1828).

Apr. 18, 1813. She d. Apr. 22, 1892. John R. Whitney was
born on the farm, owned and occupied by him till his death,
about one mile north of Wadham's Mills. His father, John
Whitney, was one of the pioneers who settled that region early
in the present century, coming about 1808. Among these set-
tlers were Benjamin Whitney and Daniel Safford, who married
Sally Whitney. John was a shoemaker by trade. He was one
of the pioneers in the temperance cause, and his house, still
standing, was the first building in that region raised without
intoxicating liquor (1829). He, with others, responded to the
call for the militia in 1812-14, but arrived at Plattsburg too late
to participate in the fight. Taken away ni the prime of life,
1834, he left an honored name to his family. After the death of
his father, John Russell Whitney was obliged to assume the care
of the home, and lived with his widowed mother several years.
He was married, Mar. 3, 1840, to Elmina E. Fisk, daughter
of Dea. Moses Fisk, of Waitsfield, Vt. Having been deprived
of educational privileges in his younger days, he was deter-
m.ined to give his family every possible advantage, often mak-
ing great sacrifices to secure school privileges to his children;
for several winters he had a family school. He was deeply
interested in the Congregational church at Wadham's Mills,
of which he became a member at the early age of fourteen.
He was elected deacon about 1863, to fill a vacancy caused
by the death of the senior deacon, and held this ofifice till his
death in 1880. He was especially active in all church afifairs,
and did much for the maintenance of public service. Enjoying
the advantages provided for them, his children sought to im-
prove themselves, and have all honored the name and memory
of their parents. Dea. Whitney passed away after a severe and
painful illness of heart disease. He d. July 23, 1880; res. Wad-

563. JUDGE JONATHAN FISKE (William, Ebenezer, William, William,
John, William, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b. Wenham, Mass., May
I, 1751; m. Nov. 26, 1772, Mrs. Mary Bragg, b. 1752, d. 1826. Jonathan Fiske, the
eldest son of William Fiske, Sr., of Amherst, established himself in the northwest
parish of that town, since known as Alt. Vernon. After a few years he removed
thence to Francestown, N. H., where he resided several years, and where his
younger children were born. In 1790 he was chosen deacon of the Congregational
church in Francestown and officiated in that capacity until 1794, when in September
he removed to Williamstown, Vt., where he seems to have in time acquired pop-
ularity and social influence, to have been again elected deacon and to various other
offices, which he filled to the general satisfaction of his constituents.
A correspondent writes: "Judge Fiske was a justice of the peace and town
clerk in Williamstown from my earliest recollection until a brief period before
his death, and as such made public all the marriages, and did most of the marry-
ing. He represented that town in the state legislature, I think, over twenty years
in succession, and afterward at various times. He was also judge of probate
at an early date, and continued in that office until his sight failed and until too old
and otherwise infirm to discharge its duties. He was also a deacon in the Congre-
gational church at Williamstown further back than I can remember, and when he
died his mantle fell on two of his worthy sons now living." From a file of the
Wenham records it appears that Judge Jonathan Fiske was married to Mrs. Mary
Bragg by Rev. Joseph Swain in Dec, 1772. They were the parents of twelve chil-
dren, eight sons and five daughters, all of whom except one matured, married, and
had families, and all excepting three lived to be over seventy years of age. Their
grandchildren number upward of seventy, fifty-three of whom are still living
(1867), including the fourth generation. Their living descendants will probably
reach one hundred souls. Judge Fiske, after living to see his children all married
and comfortably settled in life, died in 1825 — his wife the following year — both at
the age of seventy-four. Their closing days were spent with their son, Samuel,
who then resided in Berlin, Vt., and after their deaths their remains were taken
to Northfield for burial. The sons, Nathaniel, William, John, Samuel, and daugh-
ters Elizabeth and Anna were married by their father in Williamstown, where most
of the family appear to have originally settled. Some of them afterward removed
to Northfield, where a number of their descendants yet remain, Amherst, N. H.,
is situated in Hillsborough County, forty-seven miles from Boston and twenty-
eight from Concord, the state capital. The town had its origm in a grant of the
general court of Massachusetts to the surviving officers and soldiers of the Nar-
ragansett war and to the posterity of those now living. The claimants had seven
towns awarded them. Amherst was principally settled by people from Wenham
and adjoining towns and incorporated in 1760. In 1771 Amherst became the shire
town of Hillsborough County, and after many years was one of the most flourir.h-
ing villages in the state. Its residents contained many people who later attained
prominence in the state and nation, among the number being President Franklin
Pierce, Horace Greeley and Daniel Webster.

was married to John Richardson, a farmer, at Northfield, Dec.
19, 1821. They had seven children, named Sarah Sophia,
George Martin, John H., Marshal S., George Sullivan, Mary
Jane, Daniel W. John Richardson d. Mar. 6, 1834. Widow
Huldah was married to Rev. Hosea Clark in June, 1838. They
had Lucia Ann and Stephen A. Clark. The latter was an of^cer
in Sherman's army. John H. and Daniel W. Richardson mar-
ried. The former had four and the latter two children. Elijah
Worthington married in Stafford, Vt., Emily Rand, a school
teacher. They had but one child, Francis, born at Northfield.
Elijah emigrated west and died at Hart Prairie, Wis., June 4,
1858. He was a minister and farmer. Sophia Worthmgton
married at Northfield Nathan S. Green, a manufacturer, May
7, 1833. They had three children, Mary Sophia, George and
Charles, born at Northfield. Also two grandchildren. Lyman
Worthington married, at Norwich, Vt., Caroline Blood, a
school teacher. He was a millwright by trade. They had
three children, Susan A., George and Charles, who are now m
the West. Their father died in Michigan. Mary Worthmgton
married at Northfield Moses Lane, a farmer. May 2, 1833. She
resided in Northfield. Rhoda Worthington married, in North-
field, Gilnian Cummings, a farmer, at Metuchen, N. J. They
had three children, Elvira, George T. (was a Union soldier)
and Daniel. Daniel Worthington, Jr., married, at Northfield,
Miss Ann Paine, a teacher, in May, 1835. They had one child,
Frances, born in 1837. He resided in Chicago, 111. His daugh-
ter Frances, married a Mr. Hall. They had three or four chil-
dren. Rev. David Worthington in early life identified him-
self with the M. E. Church, and at the early age of twenty-two
entered upon the work of the ministry. His labors in this call-
ing were mostly confined to the limits of the Iowa conference,
where his zeal and talents soon placed him in the front rank
of the clergy of that state. Several years since Mr. Worthmg-
ton received the appointment of presiding elder for Mt. Pleas-
?nt district, and was continued in that position until his death,
by consumption, which took place in Mar., 1866. A sound
preacher, and a devoted evangelist, he went to his grave
according to his wish with the harness on. Mr. Worthington
was twice married, and left four children by his first wife,
Arinda Lee, the eldest of whom. Jason, died while in the service
of his country during the late war. Theodore Worthington
was a farmer and lived in Oconomowoc, Wis., and had a
family.

m. 2d, Nov. 28, 1819, Hannah Walker of Concord, N. H.; d. Dec. 10, 1841. Dea-
con Francis Nourse of Danvers, Mass., whose eldest daughter, Eunice, and
granddaughters Abigail and Harriet Nourse, married Amherst Fiskes, was a lineal
descendant of Francis and Rebecca Nourse, original settlers in Salem, Mass.
Francis Nourse died in 1695, aged ^y years; his wife, Rebecca, July 19, 1692 — one
of the sad victims of the Salem witchcraft. The jury — Capt. Thomas Fiske, fore-
man "were compelled to convict, against their better judgment and belief,
through the singular infatuation and perversity of the judges." In Apr., 1779, Mr.
Fiske located himself and wife on a farm situated on the turnpike leading from
Amherst village to Bedford, and for some years occupied a small tolling house.
His farm was limited in extent and his land rough and rocky. Mr. Fiske and
wife became members of the Congregational Church in Amherst, Nov. 6, 1776,
and lived exemplary Christian lives to the day of their death. Besides having
for some years command of the military company, Mr. Fiske was in Mar., 1792,
elected town clerk of Amherst and re-elected every year in succession for twenty
years. In Mar., 1794, he was chosen chairman of the board of selectmen of
Amherst and held that office till 1815, twenty-one consecutive years. He was
chosen representative of the town at the general court in 1798-99, 1804-5-6-7-8-9.
He was elected state senator for the Seventh senatorial district in 1810-11-12-13.
He was then appointed one of the justices of the court of common pleas of the
county of Hillsborough, but a remodeling of the courts by the state soon after by
legislature (a political change occurring in that body), by which all the judges
FISKE GENEALOGY. 137
were displaced to make room for new favorites, prevented his accepting the
appointment. In 1815 he was appointed United States Assessor of direct taxes
for the county of Hillsborough. In 1824 he was chosen one of the electors of
president and vice-president, and cast his vote for John Quincy Adams. Having
attained the good old age of three score and ten, he then retired from public life,
and spent the remainder of his days in the quiet of home where he died. He was
twice married. His first wife was Eunice Nourse and the mother of his children.
A few years after he married iMiss Hannah, daughter of James Walker, Esq., of
Concord, N. H., but had no children by her. In personal appearance Mr. Fiske
was rather commanding, being six ■ feet in height and well proportioned. His
features were strongly molded and intellectual. Of Puritan descent, he was in
principles, habits and manners a Puritan of the straitest sect, rendered straiter
perhaps by his severe and excessive labors. In his family and on his farm his
right to rule no subordinate ever presumed to question. By his strict yet judi-
cious exercise of authority his children were trained to admirable obedience.
The homestead in which Hon. William Fiske resided was erected in 1795, and was
ranked among the finest and most desirable in that section. It is located two and
a half miles northeasterly from Amherst on the old stage road between that place
and Manchester and Concord. To the south lies Walnut Hill, 200 feet high, to
the north Chestnut Hills flanking them on the right and left and at a distance of
from three to five miles tower the granite peaks of "Joe English" and "Uncanoo-
nucks" and southeast Babboosack Pond. He d. June 4, 1831; res. Amherst, N. H.

opportunity for enjoying educational privileges. He, however, inherited a re-
markable physical frame and strong intellect, and possessed good sterling
qualities and an indomitable will. Many and remarkable are the feats of strength
recorded of him when in the prime of his powers, while his excellent common

men in Mt. Vernon, where he subsequently resided and for many years filled
various local offices. In 1782 he married Abigail Woodbury, born in Beverly,
Mass., March 7, 1766, and second daughter of James Woodbury of Mt. Vernon.
N. H., near Amherst, to which place he at once removed. Miss Woodbury was of
an excellent family, and a relative of Judge Levi Woodbury of Portsmouth, N. H.,
a farmer of the state and secretary of the United States Treasury under President
Jackson. Mr. Fiske, like the most of his ancestors, was blessed with a large
family, six sons and six daughters, all of whom, except a son who died in infancy,
lived to mature age.

some years in this place, Mr. Fiske removed to Warner, N. H., where he pur-
chased a farm, and later located on a farm on the "Wilmot Flat" in Wilmot, N. H.
Later in life he moved to the hills in the northwestern part of the town, called
North Wilmot, and near wnere a meeting house afterward stood. Here he and
the wife of his youth grew old together, sustained and cheered by the consola-
tions of the gospel, and by the tender love and care of their son, Calvin, who, with
most filial affection, watched over and cared for them to the day of their death.
Ebenezer Fiske was a man of decided and conscientious and fixed and exemplary
principles, and the resolute energy and courage that always rises superior to the

Ephraim Fisk w^as born in Scituate, R. I. He early rem.oved to Killingly,
Conn., where he afterward resided. He was a prominent citizen, deacon for a
number of terms, and held a number of important offices, and was respected and
esteemed in the community where he lived. He was married twice. By his first
wife he had six children, four being born at one time. The children all lived, but
the mother died. By his second wife, ten children. He died above 80 years old,
greatly respected; he was a man of superior physical and mental abilities, and like
his brother Isaac, was known as a peacemaker in society.
Upon the alarm following the capture of Fort William Henry by Montcalm,
four volunteer companies marched from Windham County commanded by Abner
Baker, Ashford; John Carpenter, Woodstock; Isaac Coit, Plainfiield; John Gros-
vener, Pomfret. These volunteers were mostly men advanced in life, the fathers
of the towns, showing that most of the men were already in service. Among the
number was Ephraim Fiske.

624. JUDGE ISAAC FISKE (Joseph, Samuel, Joseph, William, John, Will-
iam, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b. Johnston, R. I., June 15, 1757;
m. there in 1775, Marcy Fenner, dau. of Richard, b. Feb. 24, 1758, d. July 7, 1820.
He was born on the old homestead in Johnston, R. I., and received an ex-
cellent education for those early days. Before he had obtained his majority he en-
listed in the Continental Army under Gen. Greene, of Rhode Island. He was sta-
tioned at Prospect Hill in Cambridge, not far from Bunker Hill in Charlestown.
His grandson, Geo. R. Fiske, Esq., of Roxbury, has two letters of his written the
time he was in the army. One is dated Sept. 3, 1775, and the other Oct. 26, 1775,
which he sent to his father, Joseph Fiske.
This is the inventory of his estate: 1824, Aug 14 Inventory of Isaac Fiske'
$1303.40 viz. carding machine, turning lath, linen wheel, wooden wheel, quilt wheel,
cash $38.50, silver watch, cooper's tools, blacksmith's tools, pepper mill, coffee
mill, white horse, 2 cows, i heifer, chaise, writing desk, 2^ stacks rye, 4 stacks
clover, clover in barn, $100. It is evident that he left home against the will of
his parents, or certainly not with their approval, for he says he will not enlist
again when his time is up. He was then 18 yrs. old, and the letters are very
pathetic, showing the lack of almost everything among the troops, especially am-
munition. I have also another letter of his written five years later, when he was
very active in religious matters, probably had become a member of the Society of
Friends, which he certainly was later on. In later life he was always called Judge
Fiske; twenty years Judge of Probate and later Judge of the Court of Common
Pleas, and the high estimation in which he was held by his neighbors. "My father
once took me to the graves of his father and mother, when I was a lad of about
ten years, and I well remember with what great respect he spoke of his father and
mother."

June 23, 1723, a precinct was erected, extending three miles into Worcester,
three into Oxford, three into Leicester, and one mile and a half into Sutton,
measured from the place designated for the new meeting house, along the roads
then traveled. This district, which was denominated the South Parish of Wor-
cester, was incorporated April 10, 1778, as the town of Ward, receiving its name
from Artemus Ward, Esq., a brave general of the Revolution, member of the
council of the Provincial Congress, judge of the County Courts, and representative
in Congress. About thirty families were thus separated from Worcester. The
boundaries of the parish and new town were nearly, though not precisely, coinci-
dent. The act provided that certain individuals included by the latter, but not
within the limits of the former, might retain their relations to the towns of their
original settlement, until it was their pleasure to express in writing, intention to
unite with the new corporation. Ten persons by this exception were permitted to
continue their former connections, and among this number was Jonathan Fiske.
He d. in Worcester and was buried there Jan. 8, 1781; res. Worcester and

following: October 2nd, 1785, baptized four children of Daniel Fisk and wife, their
names Abijah, Amos, Moses & Lydia.
"January i6th, 1788, Buried Sarah wife of Daniel Fisk in the 45th year of her
age.
"November 30th, 1799. Daniel Fisk aged 69 he died Thanksgiving Day the
28th; going to public worship he was seized with a pain in his stomach, he had
strength to return, and leave his body in his own house.
"I think, however, this which has been recorded leaves no doubt but that he
was a member of the church, as it has not been customary to baptize children of
those outside the church. Neither would there be any likelihood of the records
of his wife's death, nor of his own."
In 1790, Daniel Fisk of Wendell conveyed land in Wendell. In 1792, Daniel
Fisk of New Salem had land in Wendell conveyed to him. In 1793, Daniel Fisk
of Deerfield conveyed land in Deerfield. In 1794, Daniel Fisk 3d of Wendell had
land in Wendell conveyed to him. In 1798, Daniel of Wendell conveyed land in
Wendell.

there Mar. 19, 1755, Elisabeth Knight of Norwich, Conn., dau. of Joseph and Eliz-
abeth (Tracy) Knight. She d. Mar. 6, 1818. Capt. Asa Fisk emigrated to Wales
from Hampton, Conn., thereafter abode and died there; when first he came or soon
after he acquired the ownership of the premises constituting and connecting with
the "Oliver Wales Tavern Stand." There he dwelt, and for some time kept an
inn or house of public entertainment. Subsequently he disposed of that estate
and purchased a large tract of land in the southern part of the town, upon which
he established and through after life maintained his family home. That tract was
upon the elevated ground or high land situated a little distance off the direct
road to Stafford in our approachment of Stafford line. That elevation received
from him the significant name of Fisk Hill. His old premises, or rather the cen-
tral and main part thereof, are now owned by Moses Davis, and dwelt upon by
him, and derive from him their modern name of Davis Place. He possessed
much strength and penetration of mind, solidity of judgment and inflexibleness
of purpose mixed up with some of the spirit of domination and arbitrariness. As
an agriculturist he was judicious, skillful, thoroughgoing. As a townsman, he was
prominent, conspicuous, influential. As a military officer, he was manly and
commanding in his mien, well informed in tactics, resolute and efficient in dis-
cipline. One occurrence in his life opened a doorway through which to question
his patriotism: In the time of "Shay's war" he took sides with the party opposed
to the government and was appointed a captaincy in the opposing and rebellmg
forces, but as he had enough of that "better part of valor," discretion, to restrain
him from the commission of any overt act of rebellion, he finally got out of the
scrape without being overwhelmed or greatly damaged thereby. All things con-
sidered, Capt. Fisk must be set down as a very good man for this town. Let us
not be found undervaluing his virtue, says the Wales historian: "Elizabeth,
Fidelity is compelling us to say her virtues were many and must be unforgot."
Another correspondent says: He kept a country store on the hill where he
lived, and that he owned in his farm 400 acres, and that Shay's war cost him
considerable property. Also that he sent two sons, aged 14 and 16, to the Revolu-
tionary war. My grandfather Elisha was one. Both were drummers. The com-
pany that they were in arrived at Cornwallis surrender one hour after the sur-
render. He was lieutenant in the company of minute men \yhich marched to the
Lexington alarm, and was afterward and for some time captain in the Continental
army. His gravestone is as follows:

He was born in Watertown, where he resided for some time, finally moving to
Medfield. With his brother Daniel he was one of the first proprietors of New
Medfield, incorporated as Sturbridge and settled in that new town at an early-
date. He was elected selectman at the first meeting, Sept. 18, 1738, after the in-
corporation of the town; was often selectman, town clerk and treasurer. He
was Lieut, in the colonial forces, member of the church, and a highly respected and

He was born in Watertown, and with his brother, Lieut. Henry, became an
early resident and one of the first proprietors of Sturbridge; was elected deacon
of the church and held many town offices, selectman, assessor, etc. His will is
dated Mar. 14, 1778, and is on record in the Worcester Probate office (see Bar-
bour Hist. Collections of Massachusetts).
Henry and Daniel Fisk went from Watertown, Mass., to New Medfield, later
called Sturbridge, Alass., and commenced a settlement on what is now called Fisk-
hill, in the year 1731. While clearing m the timber one day they heard some one
chopping on the other side of the Quinnebog river. They did not know of any
white man being near them, so they went to the bank of the river and shouted
until a man replied and came to the opposite bank and said his name was Hyde.
Daniel Fisk proposed to make a bridge so they could cross over and become
acquainted, so Fisk and Hyde felled a tree from each bank of the river and the tops
locked together so thnt persons could cross, for a number of years, and was there-
fore of great convenience to the people. When high water came this bridge would
stir, or move down the river, therefore when they named the town they named it
Sturbridge, after the above described bri.dge. Two joining towns are called North-
bridge and Southbridge. The Fisks also named Fiskhill, Fiskdale and Fiskfac-
tories, all of which they once owned and occupied.
Daniel Fisk kept -i record of Remarkable Events, and in that book, among
others, is found: Rcn-arcable Dark Day May 19th 1780 — Baptist Meeting House
raised on Fiskhill, Sturbridge, Mass., June 3d, 1784— Terrible Huricane Aug.
23d 1786— Shase's Insurection in Mass. 1787— Very Hard Frost May 17, 1774-

Hon. William Earned Marcy. He was born Dec. 12. 1786, in
Southbridge, Mass., and died in JBallston Spa., N. Y., July 4,
1857. He was graduated at Brown in 1808, and studied law
in Troy, N. Y. Was later admitted to the bar there and at
once began the practice of his profession. In the war of 1812
he served as First Lieutenant and achieved distinction by
capturing the Canadian forces, being the first prisoners taken
on land, and their flag was the first captured in the war. At
the close of the war he had attained the rank of Captain, and
returned to the practice of the law. He held minor political
city offices, was at one time editor of the "Troy Budget." In
1821 he was appointed Adj. Gen. of the State Militia by Gov.
Van Buren. In 1823 he was comptroller of the State, and in
1829 he was appointed one of the associate justices of the Su-
preme Court of New York. One of the most important
cases before him was the trial of the alleged murderers of
William Morgan, of anti-masonic fame. He continued on the
bench until 1831, when he was elected to the United States
Senate. He resigned in 1833 to become Governor of the State
of New York, which office he held for three terms, imtil 1839.
In 1840 he was appointed bj' President Van Buren one of the
commisssioners to decide upon the claims against the govern-
ment of Mexico. Upon the election of James K. Polk as Pres-
ident, he was appointed Secretary of War, which position he
filled with great credit President Pierce selected him as Sec-
retary of State. At the close of Pierce's administration he
returned to private life, and four months afterward he was
found dead one evening in his library with an open volume
before him. Mr. Marcy had the reputation of being a shrewd
politician and tactician, and probably has never been sur-
passed in this respect by any one in New York except ^lartin
Van Buren. He was regarded among his countrjMnen of all
parties as a statesman of the highest order of administrative
and diplomatic ability.

(published) June 26, 1758, Anna (Bradish) Green, of Hardwick. He was bap-
tized in Weston, Mass., with his brother. His father and his mother, whose
maiden name was Eunice Jennings, moved to Willington, Conn., where her
brother, Stephen Jennings, had previously located on a large tract of land.
Stephen married his first wife in Connecticut, and resided in Willington, where
he was town clerk for nine years, from 1744 to 1753 inclusive. After her death
he married a second wife in Hardwick, Mass., and located in Greenwich, Mass.,
where he died. He resided in that part now Enfield, and was town clerk from
1758 to 1763.
Rev. Lucius R. Paige, of Cambridgeport, Mass., who wrote the History of
Hardwick, Mass., writes, "on page 386 of that work it is suggested that Annie
Green may have been the widow of John Green, and the mother of two children
by him." John Green was the son of Thomas, and was born in Shrewsbury, Mass.,
Mar. 2, 1726. He m. Anna Bradish Dec. 7, 1751. She was b. June 6, 1729, the dau.
of Dea. James and Damaris (Rice) Bradish (see Conant Genealogy, -Hist, of
Hardwick and Hist, of Shrewsbury). Stephen and his second wife were married
in Hardwick, he of Greenwich and she of that town in Worcester County. There
is a tradition in the family that Stephen's widow was married to a Mr. Chase, for
her second husband. This, I think, is incorrect, for at Warwick, Mass., Jan. 16,
1770, the intention of marriage of Ezra Conant and Anna Fisk (Stephen's widow)
was published. She died in Vermont, and lived to be nearly 100 years old
A descendant in writing of her says this: "My grandfather Fisks Mother,
died in Claremont N. H. over one hundred years old. Dont know the date, but
have heard my Father say so. When she was well along in life, and a widow, she
married Mr Chase then a widower, and an old man Father of Bishop Philemon
Chase, Dudley Chase, U. S. Senator from Vt. and Ithamar Chase, who was
father of Salmon B Chase, the famous member of Lincolns Cabinet." Ezra
Conant married for his first wife in Dudley, Mass., Jan. i. 1745, Melicent Newell,
b. Dec. 19, 1725, d. July, 1769. He married Mrs. Anna Fisk at Warwick. In

Stephen Fisk, late of Greenwich, Mass., in Hampshire County, petitions to sell
land of her late husband. (Cheshire Co. Court Records, Ezra Conant, Dec. 7,

The children of Ezra and Anna were: i, Anna, b. May 26, 1771; m. Sept. 13,
1791, Charles Conant, at Warwick, Mass. 2, Clark, b. June 23, 1773, at Warwick,
Mass. Anna (Green) (Fisk) Conant, when very old, used to ride from Claremont,
N. H., horseback, some 50 or 60 miles, to East Randolph, to visit her son Stephen,
and always before going home again used to ride on horseback also three or four
miles up to Randolph Centre Village, to see Dudley Chase, who lived there. Dud-
ley was uncle to Judge Salmon P. Chase. Another brother of Dudley's was 70 years
ago, or more, an Episcopal clergyman, Philemon, having a little wooden church,
quite secluded, on the edge of the town of Bethel, some three miles up stream
toward West Randolph, from Bethel Village. This Philemon Chase became first
Episcopal bishop of Ohio. With him in Ohio lived for awhile his afterward
famous nephew, when a boy, Salmon P.
The Hampshire, Mass., probate records show that April 7, 1767, Capt Jeremiah
Powers was appointed guardian of Rufus Fisk a minor under 14 years, on July
7, 1767, said Powers resigned his trust for the reason that said Rufus was living
in the Colony of Connecticut, on the 7th of April 1767 said Powers was ap-
pointed guardian of Olive Fisk and Mary Fisk minors over 14 years old, and
on the 6 of November 1764 Anna Fisk was appointed guardian of Stephen Fisk
and James Fisk minors under the age of 14 years all said minors are children of
Stephen Fisk.

ess County, New York, and there married a wife who was born in Holland. She

continued until her death. Their oldest child was Abraham. From the Bureau
of Pensions at Washington, D. C, it is ascertained that Robert Fisk was a sol-
dier of the Revolutionary War, and he made an application for pension on June 8,
1819, at which time he was residing in Pope County, 111., and sixty-one years of
age, and his pension was allowed for eight years and one month's actual service
as a sergeant in the Massachusetts troops, Revolutionary War; a part of the time
he served under Capt. North and Col. Greaton. Place of enlistment not stated.
His widow, Elizabeth, made application and received a pension for the service of

At his death he was buried by the Masonic order. "I will say in regard to my great-

1794, Elizabeth Stone, b. Nov. 13, 1770, d. Mar. 6, 1842. He was a young man at
the battle of Lexington, not quite twenty-three years of age. He assisted his
father who was also a doctor and whose name was the same, to dress the wounded
soldiers on that day. He studied medicine and surgery with his father, and in
later years with Dr. John Warren and his son, Surgeon J. C. Warren. He was led
by his patriotic spirit to accept the commission of surgeon's mate in Col. Vose in
the First Massachusetts of Foot in 1777. He was made full surgeon Apr. 17, 1779,
and served in the Continental army seven years. He was present at the surrender
of Burgoyne in 1777 and of Cornwallis in 1781, and of other intermediate battles.
Rev. A. B. Muzzey in his "Reminiscences of Men of the Revolution," speaks of
him: "He was frequently at my father's house and was very agreeable. I drank
in greedily his accounts given to my grandfather, who was with him in the com-
pany of Capt. John Parker Apr. 19, 1775, and of his experience as a surgeon in
the army. It was a time when all shared in the common privations. Gen. Wash-
ington would sit down with his highest officers to a small piece of beef with a few
potatoes and some hard bread — a single dish of wood or pewter sufficed for a mess,
with a horn spoon and tumbler passed around, and the knife was carried in the
pocket. Sugar, tea and coffee were unknown luxuries, and if a ration of rum was
given out — this was in the dead of winter — the question would be raised "Shall we
drink it or put it in our shoes to keep our feet from freezing?" During the pur-
suit of Cornwallis the soldiers had not decent clothing, and an old cloak, they not
having a blanket left, was shared with two other officers. Dr. Fiske would cor-
roborate in my hearing accounts of the need of medicine and comforts for the
wounded — wine, spirits and even the ordinary medicine could not be procured.
Even after searching miles nothing of the kind could be found except small por-
tions of snake-root, and as for bandages the case was still worse. Nothing of the
kind could be found for their supply but to cut up a tent found on the field. He
used to relate mirthful stories about the French officers and soldiers around
Yorktown. Surgeon Fiske was one of the original founders of the Middlesex
Medical Association, afterward and now the Massachusetts Medical Society,
one of the original members of the Cincinnati. His son took his place in the
society at his death, and after the son's death it reverted to his grandson, who is
the eldest. Dr. Fiske was also a member of the Bunker Hill Monument Associa-
tion. Dr. Fiske practiced his profession nearly forty years in Lexington after
the close of the war, and was very skillful in his treatment of the small-pox, and
he was among the foremost doctors to make use of vaccination, his old friend.
Dr. Benj. Waterhouse, bringing it from Europe, from the discoverer, Jenner. Dr.
Fiske held many town offices, having been town clerk and justice of the peace
manv years.
From the Revolutionary War records it is learned that Joseph Fisk was a
second lieutenant in the Continental army from June i to Dec. 31, 1776; surgeon's
mate June i, 1777; surgeon Apr. 17, 1779, and served as such to the close of the
war. He d. Sept. 25, 1837; res. Lexington, Mass.

He was probably a farmer, and may have been a physician. He was very well
educated for those early days, and by the death of his father, at an early age, was
left largely upon his own resources. He visited his brother Cotton on one occa-
sion while the latter was residing in Bolton, Canada. The tradition in the family
is that after his visit he started for the west with considerable money in his pos-
session, and that was the last his Canadian relatives ever heard from him. He
married his first wife probably in New Hampshire and his children were brought
up by her. While living in Chester, Vt., he married his second wife, and after his
death, on Oct. 7, 1816, she was married in Chester, Vt., to Dr. Artemas Robbins

1808. He served in war of the Revolution. Was Captain of a
volunteer company and went to West Point. He was after-
wards Major General of the first division of the N. H. militia,
which office he held for many years. General Butler was the
first postmaster of Nottingham; he was a prominent Mason.
He filled many offices of trust and honor in the State and
was highly esteemed for his usefulness as a citizen and his
integrity as a man. His wife was the dau. of Dr. Ebenezer Fisk
of Epping and grand dau. of Rev. Ward Cotton of Boston,
the first settled ordained minister in Hampton, N. H. Mrs.
Cotton's maiden name was Joanna Rand. After Rev. Cotton's
decease she married Capt. Jonathan Gilman of Exeter, and after
his death she m. Dea. Ezekiel Morrill of Canterbury, and

death she continued to reside with Gen. Butler until her own
death Feb. 25, 181 1, aged 93. Rev. Peter Holt of Epping
oflticiated at the funeral. Mrs. Baker, or "Grandmother
Baker" as she was called was a lady of remarkable attraction,
much personal beauty and ready wit. She never weighed over
100 pounds during her life and it is said never suffered from
sickness until at the time of her death. Her talent at enter-
taining friends and her readiness at repartee are proverbial. At
one time during the last year of her life a remark of surprise
was made that she had never used spectacles of any kind, her
reply was that she "might need them if she lived to be old
enough." Ch.: i, Elizabeth, b. July 29. 1777; d. July 12, 1808; 2,

Butler, a cousin of his father's. Samuel was soon made
First Sergeant and clerk of his company and stationed at Bur-
lington, Vt. While there on duty he was ordered with eighteen
men under his command, to detect smugglers who were feed-
ing the army in Canada, and while in the town of Highgate,
near the Canada line they met a company of the enemy's in-
fantry from the Dominion escorting owners with a large lot
of cattle. A fight ensued in which Sergt. Butler and men were
victorious. The British were routed, many cattle taken and
driven several miles to a bivouac where the British infantry,
re-enforced by cavalry came upon them. The result was the
killing of four of Sergt. Butler's men, while he received three
mortal wounds and a broken leg: yet he disdained the summons
to surrender and with his pistols and sword killed two of the
enemy before they could take him. He never surrendered.
Though weak and bleeding, the strength of his intellect and the
power of his courage so controlled his enemies that, as was
afterwards said by one of them. "We were afraid of him after
we had him." and another in soeaking of him said. "We all
acted like cowards before him." He refused to receive any

known as "Fiske Hill," where there is now erected a tablet stating that a skir-
mish was there had between the British and American forces, and the former
repulsed. Wm. B. Fiske has often heard his great-grandmother give an account of
her flight to the woods on that day, and upon her return to her dwelling she found
an Acton man dead at the doorstep and a red coat dead at the well, each having
killed the other. Wm. B. at his house in Plainfield, N. J., has an elegant portrait
by Frothingham of his great-grandmother, with a panel at the corner picturing her
home and showing the two bodies as stated. He was married to Elizabeth Bridge,
daughter of Rev. Wm. Bridge of Chelmsford, Mass. She died, and he again mar-
ried Nancy Adams. He moved to Boston in 1808 and was actively engaged in
shipping, his sails whitening every sea, until 1848. In the year 1843 he returned
to Lexington where he purchased a large farm on Lowell street, where he died.
He was elected an alderman in Boston in 1843, and served as representative from

Fiske was born probably in Rhode Island. Soon after his first marriage, and
shortly before the Revolutionary war, he moved to Vermont and located in 1768
in Danby. He was a Quaker preacher, and like all others of this particular
belief, did not believe in war, and was for peace first, last and all the time. When
the colonies had determined to be free and independent and throw oflf the yoke
of British oppression, the Quaker exhorter did not lend his aid or even influence,
and stoutly maintained that he would not participate in the war for independence.
As a result the town of Danby confiscated his entire property, of which he was
possessed of quite a little for those days. He made the statement to the authorities
then and there that he would live to be a wealthy man once more; they could
kill him if they saw fit. but the day would come when they would be penniless.
He moved to Brandon, followed farming, and died in 1816, having amassed a
large amount of property. He was grandfather of Hon. Stephen Arnold Doug-
lass. Rev. Nathaniel Fisk was buried on his farm in the family burying ground.

or headstone marks his last resting place. It was his wich, it is said, not to have

That branch of the Douglas family from which the sub-
ject of this sketch is a descendant emigrated from Scotland,
and settled at New London, in the province of Connecticut,
during the earlier period of our colonial settlements. One of
the two brothers who first came to America subsequently re-
moved from New London, and settled in Maryland, on the
banks of the Potomac, not very distant from the site ot the
present city of Washington. His descendants, now very nu-
merous, are to be found in Virginia, the Carolinas, Tennessee,
and other southern states. The other brother remained at
New London, and his descendants are scattered over New
England, New York, Pennsylvania and the northwestern
states. Dr. Stephen A. Douglas was born at Stephentown,
in Rensselaer County, New York, and when quite a youth
removed with his parents to Brandon, Rutland County, Vt.,
where, after his regular course at Middlebury College, he stud-
ied medicine, and became distinguished in his profession. His
wife was the daughter of an extensive farmer in Brandon, by
whom he had two children — the first a daughter, and the sec-
ond a son, Stephen A., Jr. On the first of July, 1813, without
any previous illness or physical warning, he died suddenly of
a disease of the heart. At the very moment of his attack and
of his death, he was playing with the daughter at hi-s knees,
and holding his son Stephen A. in his arms.
In 1813 the country was at war with Great Britain — had
undertaken a war with the most powerful nation in the world;
at that time the United States, with an unprotected coast, with
an overbearing, and insulting, and powerful enemy menacing
both seaboard and frontier; wath hostile navies swarming upon
the lakes, and commanding every sea where the enterprise of
American commerce had imfurled a sail, and veteran armies,
fresh from Continental fields of renown, landing on our shores
— at that time when the infant republic, trusting in the justice
of her cause, had risked everything to preserve the sacred
principle that an American citizen, no matter where he might
be, who stood upon an American deck, was to be secured, at
all hazards, in all the great rights guaranteed to hirn by the
Constitution of his country — while this war was waging, and
FISKE GENEALOGY.
171
while the contest between absolute power and popular right
was maintained with fire and sword from Detroit to Key
West, in the midst of this struggle, on the 23d day of April,
1813, was born Stephen A. Douglas, who forty-one years
thereafter became the great champion of that same sacred
principle — not, indeed, in behalf of the gallant men who tread
the decks of the American fleets, but in behalf of those other
and no less gallant heroes — the pioneers of American progress,
the founders of American states, the builders of American sov-
ereignties— the people of the American territories.
The grandmothers, maternal and paternal, of Mr. Doug-
las, were of the name of Arnold, and were both descended
from William Arnold, who was one of the associates of Roger
Williams in founding the colony of Rhode Island, and whose
son was appointed governor of that colony by Charles the
second, when he granted the famous charter under which the
state continued to be governed until even after the establish-
ment of the American Union, and until the adoption a few
years later of the present constitution of Rhode Island. The
descendants of Governor Arnold are at this day very numer-
ous in Rhode Island, and, indeed, throughout the whole coun-
try.
AN EARLY PICTURE OF HON. STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS.
Immediately after the death of Dr. Douglas, his widow,
with her two children, removed from their native village to a
farm about three miles in the country, where she resided with
her bachelor brother, Mr. Fisk, on their patrimonial estate.
From his earliest childhood, Stephen was raised to a reg-
ular course of life, attending the district school during the
winter seasons, and working steadily on the farm the residue of
each year. When fifteen years of age, finding that a number of
his schoolmates of his own years were about to enter the acad-
emy to prepare for college, he applied to his uncle, whom he
had always been taught to respect as a father for permission
and means to enable him to take the same course.^ This re-
quest was made in pursuance of an understanding which he sup-
172 FISKE GENEALOGY.
posed had existed in the family from his earUest recollection,
that he was to be educated and sent to college; so strongly
was this plan for the future impressed upon his mind, that it
had never occurred to him that his uncle's marriage a year pre-
vious, and the very recent birth of an heir to his estate, had in
the least changed their respective relations; nor had he seen
in these events that cloud which was to darken the hitherto
bright visions which had stimulated his youthful ambition.
An afifectionate remonstrance against the folly of abandoning
the farm for the uncertainties of a professional life, accompa-
nied by a gentle intimation that he had a family of his own to
support, and therefore did not feel able to bear the expense of
educating other persons' children, was the response made to
the boy's request. Instantly the eyes of young Douglas were
opened to his real condition in life. He saw at once that he
could not command the means requisite for acquiring a col-
legiate education without exhausting the only resources upon
Vt'hich his mother and sister must rely; he also saw that if he
remained on the farm with his uncle until he became of age,
he would then be thrown upon the world without a profession
or a trade by which he could sustain them and himself. Real-
izing the full force of these considerations, and perceiving for
the first time that he must rely upon himself for the future,
he determined to leave the farm and at once learn a mechanical
trade, that being the most promising and certain reliance for
the future. Bidding farewell to his. mother and sister, he set
ofif on foot to engage personally in the great combat of life;
on that same day he walked fourteen miles, and before night
was regularly indentured as an apprentice to a cabinet-maker
in Middlebury. He worked at his trade with energy and
enthusiasm for about two years, the latter part of the time at a
.shop in Brandon, and gained great proficiency in the art, dis-
playing remarkable mechanical skill; but, in consequence of
feeble health, and a frame unable to bear the continued labor
of the shop, he was reluctantly compelled to abandon a busi-
ness in which all his hopes and pride had been centered, and to
which he had become sincerely attached. He had often been
heard to say, since he had been distinguished in the councils
of the nation, that the happiest days of his life had been spent
in the workshop, and, had his health and strength been equal
to the task, no consideration on earth could have induced
him to have abandoned it, either for professional or political
pursuits.
He entered the academy of his native town, and com-
menced a course of classical studies, to which he devoted
himself for about twelve months with all that energy and
enthusiasm which were a part of his nature.
In the meantime his sister had married Julius N. Granger,
Esq., of Ontario County, New York, and shortly afterward
his mother was married to Gehazi Granger, Esq., father of
Julius, and at the close of his first year at Brandon Academy,
young Douglas, at the earnest solicitation of his mother and
stepfather, removed with them to their home near Canan-
daigua, New York. He at once became a stud-jnt at that
place — an institution which for more than half a century has
been celebrated for its thorovigh academical course of studies,
and for the large number of eminent professional men and
statesmen whose names once appeared on her catalogue.
In December, 1832, he began the study of law; but, find-
ing that his mother would be unable to support him through
the long course of legal studies prescribed by the state, he
determined upon going to the west, and on the 24th of
June, 1833. set out for Cleveland, O., where he was danger-
FISKE GENEALOGY. 173
ously ill with fever for four months. He then visited Cin-
cinnati, Louisville, St. Louis and Jacksonville, 111., but failed
to obtain employment. Finding his money exhausted, he
walked to Winchester, where he arrived at night with only
thirty-seven and a half cents. Here he secured three days'
employment as a clerk to an auctioneer at an administrator's
sale, and was paid six dollars. During the sale he made so
favorable an impression that he at once obtained a school of
about forty pupils, whom he taught for three months. Dur-
ing this time he studied law at night, and on Saturdays prac-
ticed before justices of the peace.
In March, 1834, he removed to Jacksonville, obtained
his license, and began the regular practice of law. Two
weeks thereafter he addressed a large Democratic meeting
in defense of Gen. Jackson's administration. In a short
sketch of his early life written in 1838, from which the fore-
going facts have been taken, Mr. Douglas thus spoke of this
event: "The excitement was intense, and I was rather severe
in my remarks upon the opposition. . . . The next week
the 'Patriot,' the organ of the opposition, devoted two entire
columns to me and my speech, and continued the same
course for two or three successive weeks. The necessary
consequence was that I immediately became kno\yn to every
man in the county, and was placed in such a situation as to be
supported by one party and opposed by the other. . . .
Within one week thereafter I received for collection demands
to the amounts of thousands of dollars from persons I had
never seen or heard of. . . . How foolish, how impolitic,
the indiscriminate abuse of political opponents whose humble
condition or insignificance prevents the possibility of injury,
and who may be greatly benefited by the notoriety thus
acquired! . . . Indeed, I sincerely doubt whether I owe
most to the kind and efficient support of my friends (and no
man similarly situated ever had better and truer friends),
or to the violent, reckless, and imprudent opposition of my
enemies." During the remainder of the canvass Mr. Douglas
bore a prominent part, and on the assembling of the legis-
lature, although not yet twenty-two years of age, he was
elected attorney-general, an officer who then, in addition
to' his other duties, rode the metropolitan circuit. His
opponent was Gen. John J. Hardin. This office he resigned
in December, 1835, having been elected to the lower house
of the Legislature, of which he was the youngest member.
The mental vigor and capacity he there displayed, m strikmg
contrast with his physical frame, which was then very
slight, won for him the title of the "Little Giant," which
followed him through life. In 1837 he was appointed register
of the land office at Springfield. In 1838 he was the Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress; but his opponent was declared
elected by a majority of five votes. Over fifty votes cast for
Mr. Douglas were rejected by the canvassers because his
name was misspelled. In December, 1840, he was appointed
secretary of state of Illinois, and in the following February
elected a judge of the supreme court. Here his decision of
character was shown in the trial of Joseph Smith, the Mor-
mon prophet. A mob had taken possession of the court
room, intending to lynch the prisoner, and the officers of.
the court appeared powerless. In this emergency Judge
Douglas saw a bystander idly looking on, whose great
strength and desperate courage were well known. Above
the shouts of the rioters rose the voice of the judge appoint-
ing this man a special officer and directing him to select his
deputies and clear the court room. In ten minutes order
was restored.
174 FISKE GENEALOGY.
In 1843 Judge Douglas was elected to Congress by a
majority of 400, and he was re-elected in 1844 by 1,900 and
again in 1846 by over 3,000; but before the term began he
was chosen United States senator, and took his seat in the
Senate, March 4, 1847. He was re-elected in 1852 and 1858,
and had served fourteen years in that body at the time of
his death. His last senatorial canvass was remarkable from
his joint discussions with Abraham Lincoln. Each was con-
ceded to be the leader of his party and the fittest exponent
of its principles, and the election of one or the other to the
Senate was the real issue of the contest, which was for
members of the Legislature. Mr. Buchanan's administration
was understood to be hostile to Mr. Douglas. The result
of the election showed a Republican popular majority of
4,000; but the Democrats returned a majority of eight mem-
bers to the Legislature, which secured Senator Douglas' re-
election. In 1852, at the Democratic national convention in
Baltimore, he was strongly supported for the presidential
nomination, receiving a plurality on the thirtieth ballot. In
1856 he was again a candidate at the Democratic national
convention in Cincinnati, his friends throughout the con-
vention controlling more than enough votes to prevent any
nomination under the two-thirds rule. On the sixteenth ballot
he received 121 votes; but, as he was opposed to the principle
of the two-thirds rule, he at once withdrew in favor of
Buchanan, who had received a majority, thus securing his
nomination. At the Democratic national convention in
Charleston in i860, on the first ballot he received 145^ votes
out of 252I/2 cast. On the twenty-third ballot he received
152^ votes, which was not only a large majority of the votes
cast, but also a majority of all those entitled to representation.
The convention having adjourned to Baltimore, he received
on the first ballot 173^ out of 190^ votes cast. On the
second ballot he received i8i!!/2 votes of 194^, and his nomi-
nation was then made unanimous. The seceding delegates
nominated John C. Breckinridge. Abraham Lincoln was
the nominee of the Republican party, and John Bell of the
Constitutional Union party. Of the electoral votes only
twelve were cast for Douglas, although he received 1,375,157
of the popular votes distributed through every state in the
Union. Mr. Lincoln received 180 electoral votes and 1,866,352
popular votes. From the age of twenty-one till his death,
with the exception of about two years, Mr. Douglas' entire
life was devoted to the public service. During his congres-
sional career his name was prominently associated with numer-
ous important measures, many of which were the offspring
of his own mind or received its controlling impress. In the
House of Representatives he maintained that the title of the
United States to the whole of Oregon up to latitude 54 deg.
40 min. N. was "clear and unquestionable." He declared that
he "never would, now or hereafter, yield up one inch of
Oregon, either to Great Britain or any government." He advo-
cated the policy of giving notice to terminate the joint occupa-
tion, of establishing a territorial government over Oregon pro-
tected by a sufifieient military force, and of putting the country
at once in a state of preparation, so that if war should result
from the assertion of our just rights we might drive "Great
Britain and the last vestiges of royal authority from the con-
tinent of North America, and make the United States an
ocean-bound republic." In advocating the bill refunding
the fine imposed on Gen. Jackson by Judge Hall, he said:
"I maintain that, in the exercise of the power of proclaiming
martial law. Gen. Jackson did not violate the constitution
FISKE GENEALOGY. 175
nor assume to himself any authority not fully authorized and
legalized by his position, his duty, and the unavoidable neces-
sity of the case. . . . His power was commensurate with his
duty, and he was authorized to use the means essential to
its performance. . . . There are exigencies in the history
of nations when necessity becomes the paramount law, to
which all other considerations must yield." Gen. Jackson
personally thanked Mr. Douglas for this speech, and a copy
of it was found among Jackson's papers endorsed by him:
"This speech constitutes my defense." Mr. Douglas was
among the earliest advocates of the annexation of Texas, and,
after thq treaty for that object had failed in the Senate, he
introduced joint resolutions having practically the same effect.
As chairman of the committee on territories in 1846, he re-
ported the joint resolution by which Texas was declared to
be one of the United States, and he vigorously supported the
administration of President Polk in the ensuing war with
Mexico. He was for two years chairman of the committee
on territories in the House (then its most important com-
mittee in view of the slavery question), and became, chairman
of the same committee in the Senate immediately upon enter-
ing that body. This position he held for eleven years, until
removed in December, 1858, on account of his opposition to
some of the measures of President Buchanan's administra-
tion. During this time he reported and carried through
the bills organizing the territories of Minnesota, Oregon,
New Mexico, Utah, Washington, Kansas and Nebraska, and
also those for the admission of the states of Iowa, Wisconsin,
California, Minnesota and Oregon.
On the question of slavery in the territories he early took
the position, which he consistently maintained, that Congress
should not interfere, but that the people of each state and
territory should be allowed to regulate their dornestic_ insti-
tutions to suit themselves. In accordance with this principle
he opposed the Wilmot proviso when it passed the House
of Representatives in 1847, and afterward in the Senate when
it was offered as an amendment to the bill for the organization
of the territory of Oregon. Although opposed to the prm-
ciples involved in the Missouri compromise, he preferred, as
it had been so long acquiesced in, to carry it out in good
faith rather than expose the country to renewed sectional
agitation; and hence, in August, 1848, he offered an amend-
ment to the Oregon bill, extending the Missouri compromise
line to the Pacific coast, thus prohibiting slavery in all the
territory north of the parallel of 36 deg. 30 min., and by
implication tolerating it south of that line. This amendment
was adopted by the Senate by a large majority, receiving the
support of every southern and several northern senators,
but was defeated in the House by nearly a sectional vote.
This action of the House of Representatives, which Mr.
Douglas regarded as a practical repudiation of the principle
of the Missouri compromise, together with the refusal of the
Senate to prohibit slavery in all the territories, gave rise to
the sectional agitation of 1849-50, which was temporarily
quieted by the legislation known as the "compromise measures
of 1850" the most famous of which was the fugitive-slave
law (see Clay, Henry, vol. I, page 644)- Mr. Douglas
strongly supported these measures, the first four having been
originally reported by him from the committee on territories.
The two others, including the fugitive-slave law, were added
by the committee of thirteen, and the measures were re-
ported back to its chairman, Henry Clay. On his return to
Chicago, the city council passed resolutions denouncing him
176 FISKE GENEALOGY.
as a traitor, and the measures as violations of the law of
God and the Constitution; enjoining the city police to dis-
regard the laws, and urging the citizens not to obey them.
The next evening a large meeting of citizens was held, at
which it was resolved to "defy death, the dungeon and the
grave," in resistance to the execution of the law. Mr. Douglas
immediately appeared upon the stand, and announced that on
the following evening he would speak at the same place in
defence of his course. Accordingly, on Oct. 23, he defended
the entire series of measures in a speech in which he defined
their principles as follows: "These measures are predicted
upon the great fundamental principle that every people ought
to possess the right of framing and regulating their own in-
ternal concerns and domestic institutions in their own
way. . . . These things are all confided by the Constitu-
tion to each state to decide for itself, and I know of no reason
why the same principle should not be extended to the terri-
tories." This constituted the celebrated doctrine of "Popular
Sovereignty." sometimes called by its opponents "squatter
sovereignty" (see Butts, Isaac). At the close of the speech
the meeting unanimously resolved to sustain all the com-
promise measures, including the fugitive-slave law, and on
the following evening the common council repealed their
nullifying resolutions by a vote of twelve to one. In Decem-
ber, 1853, Mr. Douglas reported his celebrated bill to organize
the territories of Kansas and Nebraska, which formed the
issues upon which the Democratic and Republican parties
became arrayed against each other. The passage of this bill
caused intense excitement in the non-slaveholders' states, and
Mr. Douglas, as its author was bitterly denounced. He said
that he travelled from Washington to Chicago by the light of
his own burning effigies. The controversy turned upon the
following provision repealing the Missouri compromise:
"Which, being inconsistent with the principle of non-inter-
vention by Congress with slavery in the states and territories,
as recognized by the legislation of 1850 (commonly called
the compromise measures) is hereby declared inoperative and
void; it being the true intent and meaning of this act not to
legislate slavery into any territory or state, nor to exclude it
therefrom, but to leave the people thereof perfectly free to
form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own
way, subject only to the Constitution of the United States."
In the Congressional session of 1857-58 he denounced and
opposed the Lecompton constitution on the ground that "it
was not the act of the people of Kansas and did not embody
their will."
Mr. Douglas was remarkably successful in promoting the
inteiests of his own state during his Congressional career.
In 1848 he introduced the passage of the bill granting to the
state of Illinois the alternate sections of land along the line
of the Illinois Central railroad, which so largely contributed
to developing the resources and restoring the credit of the
state. He was one of the earliest and warmest advocates of a
railroad to the Pacific. In foreign policy he opposed the
treaty with England limiting the territory of Oregon to the
forty-ninth parallel. He also opposed the Trist peace treaty
with Mexico. He opposed the ratification of the Clayton-
Bulwer treaty, chiefly because it pledged the faith of the
United States never to annex, colonize, or exercise dominion
over any part of Central America. He maintained that the
isthmus routes must be kept open as highways to the American
possessions on the Pacific; that the time would come when the
United States would be compelled to occupy Central America;
FISKE GENEALOGY. 177
12
and declared that he would never pledge the faith of the
republic not do in the future what its interests and safety
might require. He also declared himself in favor of the
acquisition of Cuba whenever it could be obtained consist-
ently with the laws of nations and the honor of the United
Stales.
In 1855 he introduced a bill for the relief of the United
States Supreme Court, giving circuit court powers to the dis-
trict courts, requiring all the district judges in each circuit
court to meet once a year as an intermediate court of appeals
under the presidence of a justice of the supreme court, and
providing for appeals from the district courts to these inter-
mediate courts, and thence to the supreme court, in cases in-
volving large amounts. In 1857 he declared that the only
solution of the Mormon question in Utah was to "repeal the
organic act absolutely and unconditionally, blotting out of
existence the territorial government, and bringing Utah under
the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the United States."
In 1858 and again in i860, he visited the Southern states,
and made many speeches. Everywhere he boldly denied the
right of secession, and maintained that, while this was a union
of sovereign states independent of all local matters, they were
bound together in an indissoluble compact by the Constitution,
which established a national government inherently possessing
all powers essential to its own preservation. During the ex-
citing session of 1860-61, Mr. Douglas, as a member of the
committee of thirteen, and on the floor of the Senate, labored
incessantly to avert civil war by any reasonable measures of
adjustment, but at the beginning of hostilities he threw the
whole weight of his influence in behalf of the Union, and
gave Mr. Lincoln's administration an unfaltering support.
In public speeches he denounced secession as crime and mad-
ness, and declared that, in the new system of resistance by
the sword and bayonet the result of the ballot-box shall pre-
vail in this country, "the history of the United States is already
written in the history of Mexico." He said that "no one could
be a true Democrat without being a patriot." In an address
to the Legislature of Illinois, delivered at its unanimous re-
quest, he urged the oblivion of all party differences, and ap-
pealed to his political friends and opponents to unite in sup-
port of the government. In a letter dictated for publication
during his last illness, he said that but one course was left
for patriotic men, and that was to sustain the government
against all assailants. On his deathbed his last coherent words
expressed an ardent wish for the preservation of the Union,
and his dying message to his sons was to "obey the laws and
uphold the Constitution."
Mr. Douglas was somewhat below the middle height, but
strongly built, and capable of great mental and physical exer-
tion. He was a ready and powerful speaker, discarding orna-
ment in favor of simplicity and strength. Few equaled him in
personal influence over the masses of the people, and none
inspired more devoted friendship. While considering it the
duty of Congress to protect the rights of the slave-holding
states, he was opposed to slavery itself. His first wife was
the only child of a large slave-holder, who, in his last will
provided that, if Mrs. Douglas should die without issue, all
her slaves should be freed and removed to Liberia at the ex-
pense of her estate, saying further that this provision was
in accordance with the wishes of Judge Douglas, who would
not consent to own a slave. He married April 7, 1847, Martha,
daughter of Col. Robert Martin, of Rockingham county,
N. C, by whom he had three children, two of whgm, Robert
178
FISKE GENEALOGY,
M., and Stephen A., both lawyers, are Hving (1887). She
died Jan. 19, 1853. He married Nov. 20, 1856, Adele, daughter
of James Madison Cutts, of Washington, D. C, who is now
the wife of Gen. Robert Williams, U. S. A. The spot on the
bank of Lake Michigan in Chicago that Mr. Douglas had
reserved for his future home was bought from his widow by
the state, and there his remains lie under a magnificent monu-
ment begun by private subscriptions and completed by the
state of Illinois. It is surmounted by a statue executed by-
Leonard Volk. His life was written by James W. Sheehan
(New York, i860,) and by Henry M. Flint (Philadelphia,
i860).

MRS. HON. STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS.
Mrs. Robert Williams, wife of the general of that name,
has had a romantic and interesting life and has been blessed
with numerous homes which are all historic and famous. Mrs.
Williams was, previously, the wife of Stephen A. Douglas.
When she was a girl she was known in Washington as
"beautiful Addie Cutts." Her grandmother was a sister of
President Madison's lovely wife, and her father, James Madison
Cutts, was second comptroller of the treasury, while her mother
was a Maryland belle and beauty. Adele Cutts, now Mrs.
WilHams, was born in the Cutts home, a stuccoed house on
H street and Lafayette square, built early in the present
century. When she was a baby her parents moved to an-
other house. The homestead was taken by President Madi-
son on a mortgage and after his death his widow lived
in it. It is always spoken of as the Dolly Madison house,
FISKE GENEALOGY. 179-
its first owner, who lived in it longest, rarely being mentioned.
it is now the home of the Cosmos club.
When Adele Cutts entered society she became a belle
on account of her beauty and brilliancy. Stephen A. Doug-
las, the young senator from Illinois, wooed and won her.
They went to live in a gray, grouted brick house in a walled
and terraced garden, a quaint old house, once a country
place. Twenty-one years ago two houses were made of
this and the grounds covered with new buildings. Soon
after his marriage Senator Douglas built a new home — a
large, plain brick house with a ball room at the back. Dur-
ing the war it was used as a hospital and is now the home
of Cardinal Satolli. When Stephen A. Douglas died his
wife and family went back to the old house, the gray one in
the terraced garden, to live.
After the war closed Mrs. Douglas married Gen. Robert
Williams. It was a love match and they were a handsome
couple. Soon after the wedding he was sent west and they
divided their time between Fort Leavenworth, Omaha and
Chicago until about five years ago, when they went to
Washington, Gen-. Williams having retired. They took a
new and handsome house on Hillyer place, unpacked treas-
ured pictures and books stored because they were too heavy
to carry around the country and stayed there a couple of
years. At present they are in another house. •
There are six children in the family — three boys and
three girls. The eldest son is in the navy and the youngest
went west the other day to try his luck at making a fortune.
Two daughters are in society and are very popular. One is
a striking brunette, the other a pure blonde with a fine com-
plexion and masses of golden hair. The baby of the family
is 14 and promises to be a second edition of her mother.
Mrs. Williams has not changed much these years. Her
. heavy dark hair is lightly touched with gray and she wears
it combed plainly back as when she .was a girl. Her large,
dark eyes are kindly and show her gentle disposition. Her
head is finely poised and, although she is a quiet dresser,
she has a stately air about her which makes strangers pause
to look at her again and ask who she is.
She has many treasures in her home. There are a num-
ber of family portraits and some rare old china, one set
being of white sprayed in green which was used by her
grandmother. Quaint chairs and inlaid tables, one of them
having the portraits of Italian poets on it, marbles and bric-
a-brac make her home a beautiful one.

Conn., Dec. 3, 1819. When he was three years of age his par-
ents moved to the old Burlingame homestead in Coventry, R.
I., where he passed his boyhood and early manhood. He en-
joyed the advantages which the common schools had to give,
and as he showed a peculiar aptitude for military affairs he
was proffered a cadetship at West Point, but the death of his
father made it necessary for him to abandon his cherished
desires, and at the age of eighteen he took his father's place
at the head of the family and managed a large estate success-
fully. At the age of seventeen he joined the militia as pri-
vate. He was promoted in 1837 to sergeant, 1838 to lieuten-
ant, 1841 to captain, 1841 to lieutenant-colonel, and subse-
quently colonel, when he was twenty-one years old. He was
in command during the state embroglio entitled the Dorr
war, "being active in the field for the suppression of the re-
bellion. He was a firm disciplinarian, and conspicuous for his
athletic build. About 1857 he, with his family, moved to
East Greenwich, R. I., and became associated with the Provi-
dence Conference Seminary, and was one of its staunchest
friends and supporters. He held various town offices, and in
1868-9 represented his district in the Rhode Island Senate.
Having a mechanical turn of mind he made several valuable
inventions, among which may be mentioned a packing for
steam pipes, which has been in universal use for thirty years,
a method by which illuminating gas is manufactured in one-
fifth of the time formerly required; a system of sewerage, and
other minor inventions, all of which are in common use at the
present time in their respective spheres of practicability.
Colonel Burlingame was a quiet man, thoughtful and reflective
in disposition, conscientious and upright in character. He
was deacon of the Baptist Church many years. On Oct. 30,
1841, he married Miss Elsie Maria Tillinghast, who died May
20, 1884, by whom he had three daughters, Anne Eliza, Adeline
King and Sarah Maria. In 1888 he was married to Miss Ruth
M. Spencer. He died Nov. 15, 1890, at East Greenwich, and
is interred in the family burying ground at that place. 3 ch.,

Mass., May 24, 185 1. He was graduated from the Lowell pub-
lic schools, and fitted for Harvard College. In 1869 he went
to Germany with his father, who had received the appointment
of Consul General of the United States at Frankfort-on-the-
Main. He there attended the University of Heidelberg, and
subsequently the University of Strassburg, from which institu-
tion he was graduated. In 1873 he was appointed United
States Consul at Mayence in Germany, which position he held
until 1877, when he resigned to return to Massachusetts in
order to pursue the study of the law. While in Europe he
traveled extensively, and familiarized himself with the German
and French languages. In 1880 he was admitted to the bar,
FISKE GENEALOGY. 181
and since that time has been in active practice with offices
in Lowell and in Boston. He has written extensively for the
pi-ess and law magazines, and in 1890 published a work known
as the "Law of Citizenship," and m 1895 published the "Law of
Naturalization;" also a genealogy of "One Branch of the
Webster Family." He was for several years a member of the
City Hall Commission of the city of Lowell, and published its
reports. In 1895 he received the degree of A. M. from Dart-

John, Phinehas, Thomas, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b. New
Milford, Conn., Oct. 19, 1747; m. at Middletown, Conn., Aug. 16, 1773. Eleanor
Roberts, b. Middletown, Conn.. Sept. 24, 1750;" d. Isle La Mott, Vt., July 16, 1839.
Ichabod E. was born in New Milford, Conn., and moved with his parents to what
is now Southington, Conn., graduated at Yale College in 1770. At the breaking
out of the Revolutionary War he resided in Poultney, Vt. He went to Isle La
Mott, Vt, in Lake Champlain, in 1788. He was a surveyor at this time and sur-
veyed the Isle and taught the first school there before 1802. He was ordained
a minister in the P. E. Church, was the author of an English grammar in verse,
and died the rector of a parish in Macon, Ga., where he was buried. He went
south for his health.
He graduated at Yale College with first honors, and soon after his marriage
was settled at Poultney, Vt, as pastor of a Presbyterian church. While residing
there he lost his property and a very valuable library by fire. He soon after gave
up preaching and followed teaching and surveying.
From later information it is learned that he died at the Indian Agency, now
Crawford County, Ga., and lies buried on the east side of Flint River near the
site of the old agency. When he first went to Georgia he settled at St. Marys
and was the rector there, taught school and published an English grammar in
verse. He was a classmae in college with Col. Hawkins, the Indian agent, who,
hearing of him at St. Marys invited him to the agency, which was at that time at
Fort Hawkins, on the east side of the Ockamulgee River, opposite the city of
Macon. The Indian Agency was moved to Flint River in 1812.
The following is a copy of a letter written Sept. 20, 1810, which gives an ac-
count of the death of Mr. Fisk:
On the i6th Sept. Died at the residence of Col. Hawkins, the Agent for Indian
Affairs in the Creek department, Ichabod F. Fisk. A. M. and late tutor of St.
184 FISKE GENEALOGY.
Maries Academy, Ga. This gentleman left his residence near the old British works
on Lake Champlain in Vermont some years past, with an inflammation of the
lungs and stomaik, as he expressed it, to try the effects of a southern climate. He
came to the Creek agency in July in pretty good health apparently, on his way to
the Mississippi Territory and stated his complaint and object for visiting a warm
climate. His disorder seamed at times to be leaving him and again returned in
the increased violence. He was invited to return to a seaside residence on the sea
islands of Georgia till the spring and go thence by water. For a month or more
he amused himself in visits to the Indians at their festivals or correcting for a new
edition his practical Grammar, also commenced the study of the French language
and flattered himself daily with a speedy recovery. On the 9th of Sept. he was
confined to his bed; during the night he had frequent bad spells. Slept mostly in
the day and was able to retain food or drink for a short time only on his stomaik.
When he could eat he indulged himself in the heartiest high seasoned food and
strongest drink. Every morning he reported himself better till the day of his
ssialution, that morning he asked for some soup, complained of being hungry,
took a spoonfull or two and drank sum sylabub. About twelve oclock he ceased
to speak and half after nine he was dead. When asked whether he did not want
to see his wife, he answered yes. He called her name several times and the last was
"O death come." One of Col. Haskin's Family remained at his bedside during
the day and two of them during the night at the period of his confinement to his
bed and he was buried by the Colonel's Family at sunset on the 17th. As he gave
no directions relative to his family affairs the adjutant agent. Major Linbough, by
order took an inventory of his property. BENJAMIN HASKINS.

and his family never saw or heard of him afterwards. It was supposed by the
family at that time that he was impressed into the British marine service, for in
those days citizens were caught and smuggled on board ship unceremoniously.
There are no entries on the Ellington records as the following letter will explain:
Ellington, Ct., July 27, '96.— F. C. Pierce.— Dear Sir: Have made search of records
second time — there certainly are no name of Fisks or Fiskes on Ellington records
nor any conveyance of property to or from a Fisk before 1850. This town was in-
corporated in 1786; from 1768 to 1786 it was East Windsor, before 1768 Windsor.
As you will see by dates you might be able to find something at East Windsor.

deacons, and that more than one hundred of them were
graduates of various colleges, it will be ^readily understood
why Mrs. Preston was so much of a Bible student and so de-
voted a Christian. She was married in the state of Vermont,
where they lived a few years, and then moved to western
New York, then a new country. In Feb., 1864, they moved to
Mt. Pleasant, Mich., where they lived for nearly a quarter of a
century, both passing from life to death in the house in which
they moved so long ago, Mr. Preston having died in 1881.
They had nine children, of whom three — Mrs. S. Woodworth,
Mr. W. W. Preston, and Mrs. I. A. Fancher — are yet living
and residents of Mt. Pleasant. Mrs. Preston was uncommonly

Aug. 27, 1758; m. Martha Sawyer, d. Concord, N. H. Ephraim, the son, wlien
he enlisted was only sixteen years old, and rather small of his age; but he suc-
ceeded in passing muster by tying his hat-band tight around his hat, and putting
his hat as high on his head as he could without having it fall ofif, and standing
erect as he could. When he came to the inspector, the latter said "march on,"
while some of the others were rejected. In the battle of Bennington, he, with
three others were ordered by a lieutenant to carry Captain Taylor from the field,
who was wounded (his thigh being broken). This was a very dangerous and crit-
ical position. It was rising ground, and Captain Taylor fainting every few
minutes. The cannon balls would plow furrows as large as those made by a
breaking-up plow, yet a kind Providence protected them. He was a private in

Jan. 26, 1766; m. Sarah Blanchard, b. Sept. 28, 1769; d. Nov. 11, 1848. Ebenezer
Fiske, son of Ephraim, was born at Tewksbury, Mass., Jan. 26, 1766, and lived to
FISKE GENEALOGY. 191
an advanced age. He was one of the first settlers at Little Pond, about 1787. He
purchased one of iTie eighty-three acre lots, that belonged to the Rolfe Estate,
and commenced at the west end of the lot; made an opening near the road, and
put up a shanty, in which he lived about three years. He then built a house.
Mr. Fiske possessed a large, muscular frame, which during his long life was sub-
jected to severe labors, toils and hardships. When a young man about twenty-
one he worked for a while for Joseph Colby, of New London, father of Ex-Gov.
Anthony Colby. Going out together in a boat on a pond they were upset and
Fiske saved Colby's life by catching him by the hair of his head, when sinking.
Soon after this in raising the New London meeting house, both Colby and Fiske
were on the frame, when, a board being suddenly moved, Fiske fell and Colby
caught him by the hair of his head and saved his life. At another time young
Fiske was threshing grain with Thomas Morse of Hopkinton, when Morse in
sport struck the end or swingel of Mr. Fisk's flail and drove it into his left eye.
He fell, and was thought to be dead, but recovering Dr. Philip Carrigain was sent
for, who told him that his eye was spoiled, and said he. "if the eye should run out
you would give all Hopkinton to get rid of the pain." Happily the eye did not
run out, but the sight of it was completely destroyed for life. Dr. Carrigain
charged but two shilings for his service. At the raising of a barn, at what is now
Millville, when about 28 years old, Mr. Fiske says, "I fell from the top or plate to
the bottom of the cellar; and a stick of timber I was lifting, fell across my breast.
My shoulder was broken, and breast so much bruised that it was thought I could
not recover; but by skillful means of a doctor, and a good constitution, I recov-
ered, but felt the effects for three or four years after." About three years after
Mr. Fiske was upset in a wagon on the road at the top of the hill west of Richard
Bradley's and received a severe cut in the head, which for a considerable time
benumbed his faculties. With no education in early life, he was ever a good cal-
culator and manager of his affairs, and a reliable, substantial citizen. Res. Con-

Nov. 23, 1777, Amey Lapham, dau. of Abner; b. Aug. 29, 1762; d. in the summer
of 1843. There is a tradition m the family that Squire Fiske served as Colonel
of a Rhode Island regiment during the Revolutionary War. The records of
soldiers from that state during the struggle for Independence show that he was
an Ensign in Richmond's Rhode Island State Regiment from Nov. i, 1775 to
April, 1776. He was later in life granted a pension for revolutionary service.
When his daughter, Abby, died. Squire's wife. Amy, took her four children home
and brought them up. She also brought up, for a while at least, Francis' two
children, Ann Elizabeth and William. Squire Fisk's home at Cumberland, Rhode
Island, was a brick cottage. This had never been transferred until some ten or
fifteen yeads ago (perhaps twenty). Then there were many heirs to sign the deed
although the property was not valuable enough to give much to each individual.
I am not sure that every living heir did sign the deed, all did that could be found,
but enough signed so that Mr. Burlingame, the purchaser, was willing to take
the property. This deed is registered in the office of the town clerk of Cum-
berland. He d. Nov. 30, 1804; res. Cumberland. R. I,

Benjamin Wing Hendrick was left motherless very young and
his grandmother, Mrs. Amey Fisk, took him to live with her.
He began life as operator in a cotton mill when a small boy
and rose through various grades of the work to the position
of overseer and superintendent and afterwards, in company with
his brother, Stephen, and alone, he operated mills himself.
They had ventures in the South as well as in the New Eng-
land states. Benjamin's schooling was very little but he trained
himself in higher mathematics when he was older and was
something of a mechanic. He patented at least one "loom-
motion." His experience at the South before the war made
him acquainted with the Southern people, and although his
politics was republican (and I think he always after Whig
times voted the republican ticket) yet he had and would ex-
press such regard and admiration for the Southerners during
the war time that his political orthodoxy was gravely doubted
by many of his relatives. I think he was a rather admirable
sort of a man who hadn't much chance in youth and who led a
rather commonplace and uneventful life. During the last years
of his life he took personal care of his wife. His death was
quite sudden. His wife survived only nine days. 3,

1819. He d. in Northboro, Mar. 26, 1837; res., Westboro, Mass. Mr. Ballou was
a worthy descendant of a French Huguenot family who were among the early
settlers in this country. John Fiske occupied the old homestead farm in Cum-
berland until April, 1794, where his three eldest children were born. In April, 1794,
it became necessary to sell the old homestead farm in Cumberland in order to
efifect a settlement of the estate, and John took his share of the proceeds, in
Spanish milled dollars, and put them into his saddlebags and started on horse-
back into the interior of the country to look for a new home. Providence directed
his steps to Westboro, Mass., where he purchased a farm, and immediately removed
his family thither. Westboro was 28 miles from Cumberland, and the family
connections of his wife felt that she was going to remove almost to the end of
the world; in fact, the journey was thought more of at that time than a journey
to Oregon or California is now. The family remained on the farm in Westboro
seven years, until the year 1801, and here two more children were born. In April,
1801, the farm in Westboro was sold, and another farm in Northborough pur-
chased, where the family removed and there remained until the death of John
Fiske, in 1837, at the age of 76 years.

or 1809, the town then almost a forest, and settled on what is now known
as Cooper Hill. A few years later fell from his house (while fixing the chim-

and a shoemaker by trade; and from an obituary notice of him in the Franklin
Gazette, published at Fort Covington, June 9, 1841, we learn that "In early life he
made a profession of religion, and was set apart to the office of Ruling Elder in
the Presbyterian church before his removal to this town, which office he continued
to hold until his death. His deportment was uniformly that of a Christian." He

(Whitcome) Fisk, was born at Shelburne Falls, Mass. He grew to manhood on
his father's farm. He was married to Susanna Williams, daughter of Rev. Henry
Williams, of Leverett, Mass. In 1816 or 181 7 he moved with his family, wife and
one daughter, to the state of Georgia, settling in Wilks County. In 1819 he
returned to the north, settling in Windham County, Vermont. About 1824 he
removed to Goshen, Orange County, N. Y., and in 1834 to Coshocton, Ohio,
where his wife died. In 1843 he was married to Mrs. Maria Roberts, who lived
but two years after. In the fall of 1849 he went to Terre Haute, Ind., where in 1850
he was married to Miss Releafy Blood. He was a farmer and mechanic, a cooper
by trade. He was a luling elder in the Presbyterian Church. At the time of the
War of 1812 he was a captain in the Massachusetts militia, and was called out in
the service of the state, but was never engaged in battle in the national service.

1635. iv. JONATHAN, b. Aug. 15, 1825; d. unm. in Reno County, Kan-
sas, Mar. 28, 1879. He was born in Goshen, N. Y. The fam-
ily removed to Coshocton, Ohio, when he was nine years old.
. His mother died at that place when he was sixteen. In May,
1846, he enlisted for twelve months' service in the Mexican war;
was in the Third Ohio Regiment, Company B. This regiment
was not in any of the great battles of that war, being much of the
time in garrison. At the expiration of his term he returned
to Ohio. Soon afterward he went to the southern part of Indi-
ana, where he entered land (with his land warrant), but did not
settle on it. In 1850 he was called to Princeton, N. J., by the
serious illness of his eldest brother, who had just graduated
from the college at that place. He remained in the east two
years, then returned to Indiana, and soon after engaged in the
marble business at Hutsonville, 111. In the fall of 1854 he
closed his business at that place, sold his land in Indiana, and
went to Minnesota, then a new territory. He took up a claim
on government land, as yet unsurveyed, and yet only sixteen
miles from the site of the present city of Minneapolis. He
obtained this land under the pre-emption law, and it was his
home for twenty-one years. In the fall of 1861 he visited his
brother at Greencastle, Ind., and there enlisted in Company H,
Forty-third Indiana Volunteers. With this regiment he was
in numerous battles, among which were New Madrid, Ruddles
Point, Helena and Marks' Mill. Near the close of his three
years' term he was examined by a military board and recom-
mended for a captain's commission, to command colored
FISKE GENEALOGY. " 203
troops. The commission was issued, but before it reached the
regiment his brigade was sent in charge of a wagon train from
Camden to Pine BkifY, Ark. On the way, at Marks' Mill, they
were attacked by a strong force of rebels, and after one of the
most fiercely contested battles of the war, though not on a
large scale, the lines were broken up and they were captured
man by man. Fisk, who was a sergeant, was in command of
the company through this action, there being no commissioned
officer with it. He with the rest was taken to Tyler, Tex., and
imprisoned in a stockade. The treatment was not so severe
as at Libby or Andersonville, but it was bad enough. The
whole long svmimer was spent in this wretched place, from
April till late in September. Near the end of the latter month
he with three others escaped, and after a journey of forty-eight
days, traveling at night and hiding during the day much of the
time, suffering from exposure to the weather with only a single
suit of clothing, and that worn to rags before 'they started, and
from hunger almost to the point of starvation, they finally
reached the Union lines at Little Rock, Ark. As it was then
considerably beyond the expiration of his term of enlistnient,
he received his discharge, and did not accept the commission
tendered him, but returned to his home in Minnesota. Dur-
ing his absence in the army the Indian war occurred in Minne-
sota, and when he got to his place he found nothing left but
his land, not a trace of a building (except ashes) and not a rail
of a fence. He went to work to restore his improvements. In
this he succeeded, though it was evident that his constitution
was permanently injured by his severe army service and his
prison experience. He lived at his Minnesota home until the
summer of 1875, at which time he sold out, and after nearly two
years spent in travel and prospecting, he settled in Reno
County, Kansas, where he again established a home, but his
health soon after became impaired and he died on the 28th of
March, 1879. He was never married.

FIDELIA, b. May i, 1816, united with the church at Shelburne,
under the pastoral care of Rev. Dr. Packard, in Jan., 1831. She
was a pupil and then a teacher at Mount Holyoke Female Sem-
inary, and partaking largely of the spirit of Mary Lyon, thor-
oughly accepting her views of Christian education, she would
probably have been connected permanently with that institu-
tion but for the conviction in her own mind that she was called
to the missionary field. She embarked at Boston, for the Nes-
torian mission, Mar. i, 1843, in company with Mr. and Mrs.
Perkins and Mar Yohannan, returning to Persia, and Messrs.
D. T. Stoddard and E. E. Bliss and their wives, and Miss C. E.
Myers, reached Oroomiah, June 14, of the same year, and after
laboring there for fourteen years, was constrained by impaired
health to return to the United States in 1858, and died at the
house of her brother in Shelburne, July 26, 1864.
One who had known Miss Fiske long and well, says of
her character and influence: "That she was generally re-
204 FISKE GENEALOGY.
garded by those who knew her as a remarkable woman, was
not owing to the predominance of any one quahty in her char-
acter, but to a combination of qualities, intellectual and emo-
tional, surpassing anything, as it seems to me, that I have ever
seen in any other man or woman. I remember enough of her
uncle, Pliny Fiske, the companion of Parsons in commencing
the Palestine mission, to believe that he owed the stronghold
he had upon popular interest to the same cause. Her emo-
tional nature was wonderfully sanctified; and each of her pow-
ers being well developed, and all nicely adjusted one to another,
the whole worked with regularity and ease. Hence that singu-
lar accuracy of judgment, that never failing sense of propriety,
for which she was distinguished. Hence the apparent absence
of fatigue in her protracted conversations and conversational
addresses. Hence the habitual control of her sanctified affec-
tions, over her intellectual powers, so that she seemed ever
ready at the moment, for the call of duty, and especially to meet
the claims of perishing souls around her. In the structure and
the working of her nature, she was the nearest approach I ever
saw to my ideal of the Saviour, as he appeared when on earth.
"The amount of her usefulness is as extraordinary as her
character. The book entitled 'Woman and her Saviour in Per-
sia,' strikingly sets forth her influence on Nestorian character,
and I doubt not it would be the judgment of the mission, that
few of their number exerted so great a formative influence on
the Nestorian mind, as did this departed sister. Certainly the tid-
ings of no death could awaken so many voices of lamentation,
as will the tidings of hers, over the plain of Oroomiah, and in
the glens and fastnesses of Koordistan." At the time of her
death was engaged in writing "Recollections of Mary Lyon"
(Boston, 1866). See the memoir of Miss Fisk, by the Rev.
Daniel T. Fiske, D. D., entitled "Faith Working by Love"
(1868).

Joel, third son of Deacon Moses and Hannah Fiske, fitted for college at Mont-
pelier Academy. He read theology with Rev. Charles Walker, D. D., of Rutland,
Vt., 1825-26, graduated at Middlebury College, Vermont, in 1825, in which
State he principally labored in the ministry. He was distinguished for originality
of thought rather than depth of research, but also for great zeal and devotion to his
Master's service. In this, his efiforts were greatly blessed, for many souls, through
his instrumentality, were brought to the knowledge of redeeming grace. His dis-
courses usually produced a marked impression. Sometimes a Scriptural truth
would be presented in such relations that the congregation would be thrilled and
set to thinking as for their lives. He began his ministry at about thirty years of
age and was successively settled in Monkton 1826-30 and New Haven, Vt., 1830-32
Essex, N. Y., 1832-44 a missionary at Phillipsburgh, Canada East, 1844-45 and

marked success, until his health, previously shattered by his great efforts to com-
plete his education, gave way altogether, after three years of a most useful ministry.

in that place. He was a cooper by trade and followed farming most of his life.
No one acquainted with the religious history of the town of Waitesfield can forget
the constant part in it of Deacon Fisk. Almost from the beginning of the Congre-
gational organization he has been identified with it. Deacon Fisk's very name is
both an honored inheritance and an honored legacy. On the 8th of Nov., 1801,
his father became a member of the church, and soon after was made deacon, a
position which he held honorably for more than forty years. Lyman professed
his Christian faith in his sixteenth year, and a few years before his father's death,
which occurred in 1847, was also elected deacon, serving forty years. The family
connection with this sacred office is perpetuated in his nephew, Deacon E. A. Fisk.

Waitesfield and purchased a small farm, and for a time followed his trade in con-
nection with it. In after years by various additions to the original purchase he
became the owner of an excellent farm which fully occupied his time. He was a
man of good business ability, and unblemished Christian character. His early
opportunities for education were limited, but he kept himself well abreast with
the times by thorough and systematic reading. For over fifty years he was a faith-
ful member of Waitesfield Congregational Church, and was ever ready to give of
his time, money or influence for its support, and, what is far better, his daily Hfe

913- HON. JONATHAN FISKE (Jonathan, William, Ebenezer, William,
William, John, William, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b. Amherst,
N. H., Sept. 6, 1773; m. Livingston. Jonathan, eldest son of Judge Jona-
than Fiske, started from Williamstown, Vt., for Ne.w York City, where he sup-
ported himself for some years by teaching school, meantime devoting himself
to a thorough study of the mystery of law. A good classical scholar, he bad
among his more distinguished pupils Theodosia, only daughter and child of Aaron
Burr. After being admitted to the bar, Mr. Fiske established himself in a very
successful practice of law at Newburgh, N. Y., until he was chosen a representative
of Congress during the first term of President Madison's administration, by whom
he was subsequently appointed to the office of the United States attorney for the
southern district of New York. From the pecuniary emolument of his extensive
practice, while in this position, he speedily acquired a handsome property.
Jonathan Fiske was a man of fine figure, tall, well proportioned, of courtly
manners and elegant address. He was married to a descendant of the Livingston
family of New York and had four children, Mary, the latter, a very lovely child.
Theodore was a man of bright talents, educated at Columbia College, New York
City, and settled in the practice of law with his father at Newburgh. Jonathan Fiske
died in 1823, and his children, none of whom ever married, followed him some
years later. The family has now become extinct. He d. 1823; res. Newburgh,

been engaged in the practice of law, and there remained about three years, when
he removed to the town of Liberty, Sullivan County, N. Y., and drove the stakes
of his future home in what was then the depth of a primeval forest, but which is
now the site of a flourishing village called Parksville. He cut down the first tree
and erected the first building in the place. An original settler, he was for many
years one of the leading men of the town; a deacon of the Baptist Church. Dur-
ing the latter j^ears of his life he was surrounded by many of his descendants,
venerable in years and greatly esteemed in the community. Nine of his grandsons

Samuel Lolly Fiske, youngest son of Judge Jonathan Fiske, was appointed register
of probate by his father at the age of 16 years, which position he retained until
his father retired from public life. In the spring of 1820 he removed with his aged
parents to Berlin. Vt., and settled on a farm, ministering to their necessities until
their death. In 1827 Mr. Fiske returned to Williamstown and resided there sev-
eral years, filling in a measure his father's place in that community. In 1840, sensi-
ble of the importance of giving his children better educational facilities than were
within reach at that point, he removed to Malone, N. Y.. and placed them in the
Franklin Academy, where his oldest son, Pliny, a promising student, was fitted
to enter Burlington College the very year he died, and his two daughters were
also qualified to become successful teachers, which they afterwards did for some
years. Mr. Fiske was elected deacon of the Congregational Church in Wil-
liamstown in 1832, and upon his removal to Malone, he was re-elected to that po-
sitution in 1844. Deacon Fiske was never a seeker for political emolument or distinc-
tion, but nevertheless has on various occasions been honored by the free prefer-
ence of his townsmen for local or county offices. A man of the strictest integrity
and sound judgment of benevolent Christian aims, he sought rather to do the
work of a faithful servant of Christ than to win applause of men. The worthy
scion of the Puritan stock, he lived a busy, useful life, and left to his surviving
children a spotless name and example. Res. Berlin and Williamstown, Vt.

H., Apr. 2, 1776; m. May, 1799, Melinda Blake, b. 1784; d. 1868. Ezra Fiske, first
son and second child of Hon. Wm. and Eunice Nourse Fiske, was born at Amherst,
N. H. His father was a farmer and shoemaker. The sterility of the land, the
poverty following the Revolution, and his father's having a large family of chil-
dren, compelled him to assist in the support of the family. He worked on the
farm in summer, on the shoe bench in winter, and received but a very limited
education, being but a few months in the public schools of that day. He, however,
gained much knowledge from reading by the light of pine knots during winter
evenings. After he arrived at the age of twenty-one, he attended the Amherst
Academy for over a year, taught school, and in May, 1799, moved to Maine and
bought land in Fayette. He soon after married Melenda Blake, daughter of Rob-
ert and Martha Dudley Blake, who were natives of New Ipswich, N. H. He
settled on his land, where he and his wife enjoyed a married life of over sixty-seven
years, she dying at the age of eighty-four. He survived her two years and died at
the age of ninety-four years and six months. There were born unto them sixteen
children, twelve of whom grew to manhood and womanhood. Robert Blake was a
Revolutionary soldier, and Martha Dudley, a descendant of the Dudley family
of England, both being descendants of early New England colonists. Me-
lenda Blake inherited the resolute and sterling qualities of her parents,
and much of Ezra Fiske's success in life must be accredited to her as-
sistance. Ezra Fiske in early life evinced mechanical ingenuity, and at sixteen,
with but few tools to work with, made a violin without assistance. In after life
he invented a number of useful machines, among which was the machine which
first successfully molded brick. He made the models and many of the drafts of
his inventions for the patent ofifice. He entered the militia in the town of Fayette
as drummer, and became successively Clerk and Lieutenant of the company, and
served as Adjutant during two colonelcies. He taught in the public schools for
twenty-one years and served on the board of school examiners for twenty-three
years. He revised Fiske-Murray's "Grammar for Advanced Students." producing
a work for the primary grades. He served for twenty-two years on the Board
of Selectmen of his town. He served as Justice of the Peace successively for
thirty-five years. He represented his town in the Massachusetts Legislature in
1812-13, and the Maine Legislature in 1829-31, and was also a member of the Con-
stitutional Convention which formed the constitution of the State of Maine. He
was a member of the Massachusetts Legislature when Elbridge Gerry intro-
duced the first "Gerrymander Bill." and although of the same politics as Mr. Gerry,
bitterly opposed the bill as not only outraging the rights of the people, but as
being impolitic. He held political office over forty-five years. In politics, his
admiration for the views held by Washington and Hamilton, and his fears of the
French red republican influence over Jefiferson, made him a stanch follower of the
former and their successors. He afterwards became a Whig, and died a Repub-
lican. In his religious views he was reared a Congregationalist, the views of which
church he early embraced; but afterwards became a Baptist, and lived an honored
member of that denomination for sixty-seven years. In both his politics and re-
ligion he differed from the other members of his father's family. He was a mem-
ber of the Masonic order for sixty-seven years, and at his death was the oldest
Mason in the State of Maine. His funeral was conducted by the Masonic order.
Although commencing with but limited education, by self-instruction, he suc-
ceeded in acquiring a great fund of general information.
The children of Ezra and Melinda Fiske inherited excellent constitutions
and fine natural abilities, improved in some instances by a knowledge of books and
familiar intercourse with the world. The sons were active, stirring and enter-
prising men, and the daughters comely and well favored personally. Francis
Nourse, the eldest, was a substantial and respectable farmer in his native town.

Allen was for many years a member of the Kennebec bar and also served as Justice
of the Peace. Franklin, perhaps the best educated of the family, was a success-
ful teacher in several of the States, traveled extensively and possessed good literary
abilities.
When the Rebellion broke out, the family of Ezra Fiske partook of the
military spirit which swept through the North. Franklin early enlisted and became
a Captain in one of the famous Illinois cavalry regiments. His brother Allen
served as a Lieutenant in the Maine Twelfth Volunteers. Their nephews, Allen,
William and Philip, sons of Francis Nourse, enlisted respectively in the Maine
Seventh, and Twelfth, and Fifth Connecticut regiments, and did good service under
the old flag. He d. Oct. 4, 1870; res. Fayette, Me.

took my inventory this morning. I am permitted to enter upon liie 86th year
of my age. Yes, 85 years ago this morning I received existence from the same
kind hand of Providence which has upheld me in life through this long series of
years, and has dealt bountifully with me and towards me in every stage of my life,
and now this morning I am numbered among the living, in the enjoyment of com-
fortable health. O, that I could render to the Lord all due returns of gratitude,
thanksgiving and praise for his bountiful goodness unto me, in the kingdom of his
providence and Grace. Amen."

were among the earliest emigrants to Amherst, N. H. As thiee of them inter-
married with the family of Hon. William Fiske, doubtless a number of the latter's
descendants are equally interested in w-hat relates to the Dodge ancestry. Of Mr.
Dodge's parentage and family, the date of his birth and marriage, no account has
been furnished us. He was descended from Richard Dodge, of Salem, Mass., who
emigrated from England in 1638. According to Savage, he is the progenitor of
all the name in New England. He had, by wife Edith, John, Mary, Richard,
Samuel, Edward and Joseph. They, and their descendants, appear to have partici-
pated largely in public affairs in Wenham and adjacent towns. Eighteen of this
name have graduated at New England colleges since A. D. 1700. In Wenham,
according to the records, several of this family married Fiskes.
William Fiske, of Concord, was the third child and second son of Hon. Wil-
liam and Eunice Fiske. In features and in stature he resembled his father, but his
disposition and character was more like his mother's. Like his brothers ,he grew
up amid the labors of his father's family, until he was 21 years of age. Then,
after visiting Maine and looking about him, for two or three years, at the age of 24
he married Margaret C. Dodge, of Amherst, and settled at Concord, N. H.
They became members of the Congregational Church in Concord at an early date,

They became members of the Congregational church in Concord at an early date.
They first located themselves at Concord, "West Parish," where he erected several
buildings, a public dwelling and store, and resided there several years. But, in
1832, he bought a lot and built him a house in the village of Concord. He died
there, aged 76 years. His wife w^as the daughter of Bartholomew Dodge, of

of Milwaukee, Wis. Mary A. Walker, the eldest daughter,
lived with her parents. Mrs. M. C. Walker was married Oct.
21, 1836, to William Jennison. Charles T. Bradley was the sev-
enth of a family of nine children, born in Haverhill, Mass. His
father, Enoch B., was the son of Joseph Bradley, of Haverhill.
His mother was a daughter of Dr. Samuel Hildreth, of
Methuen, in that State. The Bradleys were among the first
settlers in New England, but it is not known that the original
families were all closely related. Mr. Joseph Bradley, above
referred to, was quite probably a descendant of Daniel Brad-
ley, who was a passenger by the ship "Elizabeth," 1635, who
was killed by the Indians at Haverhill, 1689, and whose family
for several generations experienced great sufferings at the
hands of the savages. He had several children, and among
them Daniel, Abraham, Joseph and Isaac— the latter was car-
ried into captivity, 1695. Daniel, with his wife and younger
children, and Joseph, with their sisters, Martha and Sarah,
were massacred in 1697. In 1704 the garrison house of a grand-
son, Joseph, son of Joseph, was surprised, burned down, and
his wife (in delicate circumstances) taken a second time pris-
oner, and carried to Canada, where she was sold into bond-
age until redeemed the following year. In 1746, Jonathan and
Samuel Bradley, sons of Abraham above, were massacred
with others in New Hampshire, by the same relentless foe.
Such were the perils and such the sufferings encountered by
our fathers, in early days. Joseph Bradley, of Haverly, was
the ancestor of Hon. John Bradley, of Concord, N. H.: also
of Deacon Amos Bradley, of Dracut, Mass., and of Enoch
Bradley, Esq., of Haverhill.

Hon. Francis N. Fiske was the third son and fourth child of Hon. William and
Eunice Fiske. Remained with his father until 1802, when he went to Maine;
taught school there most of time until 1809, when he returned to New Hamp-
shire. In 1810 he located himself in trade at Concord, and continued in that busi-
ness up to 1853. In March, 1819. he was elected town clerk of Concord, and was
elected to the same office fourteen consecutive years. In 1825, and also in 1826, he was
elected representative to the general court. In 1827-29-30 he was elected Coun-
selor for the district of Rockingham. He was chosen president of the Merrimack
county bank in January, 1847, and continued the same for thirteen consecutive
years. He was also president of the New Hampshire savings bank in Concord, for
several years. He was married by the Rev. Dr. Asa McFarland, of Concord, to
Mrs. Mary Emery, daughter of Judge Timothy Walker, of Concord. They
both united with the First Congregational Church, Concord, in 1831. As a son and
brother, as a husband, father and citizen and in all the relations of life, if Francis
Nourse Fiske were not absolutely blameless, none were more nearly so. Besides
a good common school education he obtained at the academy of Amherst, a fair
introduction to the higher English branches. Mrs. Mary Emery was the daughter
of Judge Timothy Walker, of Concord, N. H. Judge Walker of Concord, was
descended from Deacon Samuel Walker, of Woburn, Mass., whose eldest son,
Timothy, born 1705, was a graduate of Harvard College, 1725, and ordained the
first pastor of the Congregational Church in Concord, in 1730, and died there in
1782, in the 52d year of his ministry. He married Sarah Burbeen, of Woburn,
and had five children. His only son. Judge Timothy Walker, born in 1737, was
for many years among the most prominent of the early public men in New
Hampshire. He was a colonel and paymaster in the army of the Revolution, a
member of both houses of Common Pleas, and, in 1798, the Republican candidate
for Governor, against John Taylor Gilman. a distinguished federalist. He mar-
ried Esther, daughter of Rev. Joseph Burbeen. of Woburn, and of their fourteen
children, the thirteenth was Mary, born in 1786, who was married to Hon. Francis
N. Fiske. as above. The family and descendants of Rev. Timothy Walker have
been largely identified with the growth and prosperity of Concord, and in the

grave, she left behind her a sweet memory that
was cherished by a wide circle of admirers and
friends. Nathaniel Chapman was one of a fam-
ily of four sons and one daughter, children of
Phineas Chapman, Esq., who was the son of
Deacon Caleb, who was the son of Deacon
Nathaniel, who was the youngest son of Hon.
Robert Chapman, one of the original settlers of
Saybrook, and who, besides filling other im-
portant offices in the gift of his townsmen, represented that town for thirty
consecutive years in the Connecticut Legislature, viz., from 1654 to 1684, num-
bering during that period over fifty separate sessions. His son, Deacon Nathaniel,
of the Saybrook (Cong.) Church, represented the same town in twenty-four
sessions of that body, from 1697 to 1723. His son, Caleb, succeeded him in the
inheritance of the ancient Chapman homestead, and also as deacon of the
Saybrook Church. Allen Fiske m. 2d, Sept., 1835, Mrs. Maria Stokes, b. 1796, in
Montrose, Scotland, d. Oct., 1863. Allen, fourth son of Hon. William and Eunice
(Nourse) Fiske. was born in Amherst, N. H. Delicate in his youth the plans of
his life were left undecided until he was nineteen years of age, when he began his
preparation for college, and soon after entering Dartmouth, at Hanover, N. H.,
he graduated in the summer of 1814. At college he held a very respectable
standing, ranking as third in his class, and was honored by election to the Phi
Beta Kappa Society, in recognition of his scholarship. Going to New York the
following winter, he entered the law ofifice of Hon. Jonathan Fiske in the spring
of 1816, where he continued until he was admitted to the bar in 1819. Mr. Fiske
was peculiarly well fitted for the office of instructor of youth, and tiring of the law
after a brief practice, he betook himself to his favorite role as the principal of
grammar schools, designed to prepare young men for college. Called to take
charge of such departments in the academies located in Troy, Auburn and
Skaneateles. N. Y.. he made a brilliant success in this field, was largely_ in-

distinction, and probably more than any others of his day helped to raise the
standard of education in the state. He was the author of several text books widely
in use in the schools of New York and New England, notably Murray's English
Grammar simplified and adapted to popular use, and Fiske's Elements of Latin
Grammar for High Schools. Mr. Fiske, in addition to his rare gifts as teacher,
also possessed the pen of a ready writer, and was a frequent and valued contributor
to the columns of the eastern press. He was at different times on the editorial
stafif of several prominent journals of his day, was a leading writer for a number
of popular magazines and quarterlies, and for several years conducted a very
popular home journal. To the very last years of his life Mr. Fiske retained to a
remarkable degree the vigor of his intellectual powers, and when past the age of
three-score and ten years, was accustomed to keep up his familiar acquaintance
with the classic authors, and even when the physical infirmities of an octogenarian
prevented him from engaging longer in the activities of outdoor life, he occupied
himself in writing full commentaries on the entire New Testament.
At the ripe age of 86 years, in the full possession of his faculties, with an
unclouded trust and holy peace and saintly resignation, Allen Fiske, after a brief
illness, on Sept. i8th, 1875, fell asleep in Jesus, and was gathered unto his fathers,
"having the testimony of a good conscience, in the communion of the Holy
Catholic Church, in the confidence of a certain faith, in the comfort of a reason-
able, religious and holy hope, and in perfect charity with the world!" His remains
were taken to Auburn, N. Y., for interment.
Allen Fiske was a well read man, not only in English literature, but the
classics also, and Homer's Iliad was as familiar to him as Shakespeare. But the
Holy Scriptures were his especial delight. From private papers it appears that
before his seventieth year he had read the Bible through by regular course over
forty times, and portions of the New Testament many more times. During his
long career as a teacher he had received from his pupils many valued souvenirs of
their regard, but the most touching testimony came at his decease, when about
his remains were gathered at the cemetery in Auburn, N. Y., where the committal
took place, nearly a score of prominent gentlemen, in middle life, who after more
than thirty years had elapsed, came from their homes to testify by their presence
their profound appreciation of the service he had rendered to them as their early
instructor, and to pay this heartfelt homage to his memory. He d. Sept. 18, 1875;

m. Nov. T. 1854, Dr. J. Asa Kennicott. Early manifesting a
remarkable precocity and strength of character, she greatly re-
sembled her mother also in personal charms and indomitable
energy. At the age of thirteen, during her mother's illness and
afterwards, she took charge of the female department of
Auburn Academy, of which her father was then principal, and
discharged her duties in this position with such dignity and
ability as to attract the notice of other educators. At the age of
sixteen she was engaged as preceptress of the Aurora (N. Y.)
Female Academy, notwithstanding the rule in force of the
board of trustees, which prescribed eighteen as the minimum
age, and was eminently successful in that capacity. In 1841,
when her father took charge of the academy in Skaneateles,
N. Y., she again became his assistant, as head of the female de-
partment and filed the position with entire satisfaction. Subse-
quently, on the removal of the family to Troy, N. Y., she en-
tered (1844-5) Mrs. Willard's Seminary, to perfect herself in
music, painting, French, and higher mathematics, and graduat-
ing with credit eighteen months later, she became a teacher
in that famous institution. In 1849, after a brief visit with
friends in New York City, she went to Chicago, and estab-
lished the Chicago Female Seminary, the pioneer of all such
institutions in the great West, and for several years she con-
ducted that school with signal popularity, having in the various
departments instructors of the highest ability, and at one time
a scholar-roll of over one hundred pupils. In 1854 she was
united in marriage to Dr. J. Asa Kennicott, a leading dentist of

the city, and well known in scientific circles, and for fifteen
years retired to domestic life. In 1869, with the view of giving
her three daughters the best educational advantages, she es-
tablished in her own beautiful home at Kenwood, Chicago, a
girl's school which soon became widely known as the Ken-
wood Female Seminary, with the patronage of the best Chicago
families, and a large roll of pupils drawn from all quarters of
the west and south. While in the full tide of prosperity, she
was compelled, on account of ill health, to transfer the manage-
ment of the school to other hands, and in 1878 she engaged to
chaperon a good-sized class abroad, and with this charge spent
a year in Europe, visiting the various places of mterest, but
more especially the art galleries and salons, where her class
received instruction in art, music and modern languages. On
her return from Europe she decided not to resume charge of
the seminary, but opened a studio, in connection with her
eldest daughter. Miss Maud Kennicott, who was a member of
the class that went abroad, and gave instruction in the higher
grades of art, with special favor and success. Mrs. Kennicott's
work in crayon, pastel and oil has been catalogued and ex-
hibited in the art galleries of the leading expositions of the
country, especially those of Chicago, New York and New Or-
leans, and has been honored with distinguished commendation
and patronage. Her productions in frviit work have not been
excelled by any artist in this country or Europe, and are simply
exquisite. And the same might be said of much of her other
work, especially her canvas representations of the various
specimens of the American flora, which have been much ad-
mired. Indeed, faultless gems from her easel may be foimd in
the homes of the wealthy all through the land, associated with
the best work of modern masters. In 1886 her husband, Dr.
Kennicott, was stricken with paralysis, and as he became a
hopeless and for years almost a helpless invalid, her studies in
art from this date were practically ended in her devotion to
him. Since his demise in 1893, Mrs. Kennicott has lived a
very retired life, passing the evening of her days pleasantly,
with her children all near her. solaced by the reflection that
her busy life had been at least a very useful one, and repre-
sentative of the highest grade of American womanhood. To
her were born three daughters, as follows: Isabella Mavid,
born Dec. 21, 1856; married Dr. T. J. Reid. 2d, Mabel Blanche,
born August 16. 1858; married Frederick Grant Gleason. 3d.
Ada Mary Walker, born August i, i860; presides with grace
as mistress of the homestead. Inheriting in a larqe degree the
talents of their mother, the}' have by her judicious training
acquired accomplishments which fit them for anv station in
life.
Dr. Kennicott is a younger son of Jonathan Kennicott, who
was born in Warren. R. I., April 27, 1775, and a grandson of
Robert, of that State, who was descended from Dr. Robert
Kennicott, of London, a distinguished English scholar and
savant, and presumed to be related to Benjamin Kennicott,
D. D., regius professor in Oxford University during the last
century, and a bishop in the Church of England. In 1832 the
family removed to Illinois, before Chicago could boast of a
hundred buildings, and when the great Northwest was a com-
parative wilderness. Establishing themselves I'l'On a large
tract of land, in one of the most desirable locations in the
State (about twenty miles northwest of Chicago), they early
became wealthy and very successful farmers, and gained a wide
reputation as pioneers in western horticulture. There they
built mills, erected a trading post, and founded the village of
Mettawa — called (by its English translation) Half Day. There

several of them married and settled, and have large families.
Three brothers in this family graduated at medical universities,
two of them were practicing physicians for several years, and
two of them have been promint;nt as dental surgeons in Chi-
cago. Drs. John and William Kennicott recently deceased,
stood deservedly high as professional men, and they and others
of their relatives are favorably known in scientific circles.

1776. iv DAVID EDWARD, b. Sept. 3, 1826, unni. res. Chicago, 111. David
Edward Fiske, second son of
Allen and Eliza Fiske, was
born in Troy, N. Y. At an
early age he -went to live
with his uncle, David Fiske,
in Amherst, N. H., on whose
rugged farm and precipitous
hillsides he readily acquired
that robust health and con-
stitution which served him
so well in after years. There
also he acquired, in the ex-
cellent schools of that town
and vicinity, a good English
education, and so much
knowledge of Latin and
Greek as is required to enter
college. After teaching a
couple of winters, he aban-
doned farm life and, return-
ing to Troy, N. Y., became
connected with the Family
Journal in the spring of 1849. His excellent business talents
soon placed the enterprise on a solid basis, and brought the
Journal in the front rank of weekly newspapers. Subsequently
he undertook the publication of the Troy Traveler. But not
finding the publication of newspapers sufficiently remunerative
to suit his views, he dissolved his connection with these en-
terprises, and. in 1856, removed to Chicago, where he engaged
several years in the dairy business, at first on a small, but after-
wards on quite a large scale, and in which, by energy, prudence
and perseverance, he accumulated in a few years a handsome
competence. In 1864 he parted with his dairy interests and
for about thirty years has been engaged in the real estate and
loaning business, in which with ample means and careful
management, he has attained the goal of his early ambition — •
a recognized position among mean of wealth and influence.
Mr. Fiske, while not a man of letters, is nevertheless well
versed in current literature, has decided and intelligent con-
victions on most subjects, and is not lacking in ability to ex-
press his views, by voice or pen, with clearness and force, and
when occasion calls can maintain his ground with the best of
disputants.
As the favorite legatee of his uncle, for whom he was named,
and with whom he passed the greater part of his youth, Mr.
Fiske has taken great and commendable delight in restoring to
a highly productive and attractive condition the old farm and
homestead, which has been now in possession of the family for
over one hundred and fifty years.
William Fiske, Sr., youngest son of Deacon Ebenezer Fiske
of Wenham, with Susanna Batchelder, his wife, and their nine
children, emigrated from Wenham at an early day, and es-
tablished themselves on the eastern slopes of Walnut Hill, in

the town of Amherst, N. H., when that portion of the country
was still a wilderness. There was founded the Amherst branch
of the Wenham Fiskes, whose descendants, wherever located,
OLD FISKE HOME, AMHERST, N. H.
have fully sustained the high character of their ancestry, have
been noted for their ability, probity and piety, and have filled
many official positions of honor and public trust. The hardships
of frontier life in a country heavily timbered and rocky, short-
ened the days of that sturdy pioneer, William Fisk, Sr., and he
died in 1777 in his fifty-second year, leaving a large family.
Stanch and stalwart, the elder sons soon cleared up a large tract
of land, and established homes for themselves and families. A
few years later Jonathan removed to Williamstown, Vt., where
he achieved a most honorable record; Ebenezer settled in Mt.
Vernon, where he became prominently identified with town
afifairs; while William (Jr.) located himself on the old mail
route from Amherst to Manchester, on a plateau lying be-
tween Walnut and Chestnut Hills. Living for awhile in a plain
log house, at the close of the Revolutionary War, he built on
this spot a fine mansion, which has ever since been in posses-
sion of the family. Here was raised a large family of sons and
daughters, whose subsequent career reflected great credit on
their early training. And here Hon. William Fiske resided
until his death (June, 1831), very greatly respected by his
townsmen, being called for twenty-five years to represent them
in public life, both in town affairs and state government, legis-
lative and judicial. The old homestead, which was willed first
to his son David, and subsequently to a grandson vi that name,
is still in a most excellent state of preservation, and remains
a fine specimen of the commodious and hospitable New
England homes of the early days. Mr. David E. Fiske, of
Chicago, who is the present owner, takes great pleasure in re-
visiting his boyhood's home, where he usually spends his sum-
mers, superintending improvements, and exercising the tastes
of a gentleman farmer. It is his firm purpose to keep the old
homestead in the family as long as he can, as the best monu-
ment to the sterling worth of those who founded the Amherst
branch of the Wenham Fiskes.

was one of the founders of Albion College. He received sev-
eral degrees, including D. D., and was admitted to the bar in
1846. He was the author of "Protestantism in Michigan."

until May, 1861, when he became editor of the Lansing State
Republican, at which time he received authority to raise a com-
pany of the Twelfth Mich. Infantry. He succeeded in filling
his company and went out with the regiment, which saw its
first service at the battle of Shiloh. He was one of a recon-
noitering party sent out by General Ben. Prentiss, and nar-
rowly escaped both death and capture. Soon after the battle
he was attacked with typhoid fever and chronic diarrhoea, and
was reduced to borders of the grave. Finally he reached the
family of his wife at Coldwater, where for many months he
fought the battle between life and death, and for most of the
time during two years was dangerously ill, and was honorably
discharged from service. In 1870 he was elected senator,
which duty he faithfully discharged until the time of
his death. He was possessed of strong mental qualities, integ-
rity of character, was a genial companion. He was a man of
fine literary and poetic taste, had written several poems and
lectures with great credit to himself and with general accept-
ance. He was also an elder in the Presbyterian Church, where
he had a large Bible class.

William, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b. Shelburne, Mass., July 17,
1791; m. Oct. 31, 1814, Laura Severance, b. 1795; d. July 6, 1870. David Fiske was
born on the top of one of the beautiful hills of Shelburne, Franklin Co., Mass. He
had a good common school education, and married Laura Severance, who was
born in the same town. Previous to his marriage he had formed a partnership
with two other young men for building and running a saw mill, a grist mill
and a cloth factory at the falls of the Deerfield river, then called Salmon Falls,
from the abundance of that fish caught there. These falls made a fine water
power and the banks on either side were owned by Captain Martin Severance,
Laura's father. For nearly twenty years he was the head of these establish-
ments, and then chief owner. He built a pretty little house on the river side for
his bride. In it were born his eight children, and there three of them died.
There also their golden wedding was celebrated and there his beloved wife died,
after 56 years of married life. In 1832 he sold out his manufacturing interests,
having caught the western fever, and removed with his family to Ohio, making
the long journey from Albany over the Erie canal by packet boat, then con-
sidered a rapid and luxurious mode of travel, and by lake to Cleveland, which was
then but a pretty group of fourteen houses under the bluflf by the river. There
he first bought 180 acres on the blufif on which now stands the whole business
part of Cleveland. But, he wanted a farm, and found better soil out at Strongs-
ville, 18 miles southwest, and exchanged his purchase of the Cleveland site for
twice as many acres, where into whose black soil he could thrust a "sabre's tail
clear up to the head;" where into the hollow trunk of a fallen sycamore a man
could walk upright with a tall hat on and where the black walnut trees made
grand rails for fences. Six rails and posts, and rider high to keep the deer from
the crops. He sold his farm on which he had built a fine house, the first between
Cleveland and southern Ohio. The raising of that house was an <jvent. He and
his wife had seen too much of the baleful eiifects of rum in New England, it
was wholly banished from their house and they determined to raise the heavy
black walnut frame without its aid. They notified everybody for twenty miles
around of this "raising" "without rum." Everybody said that nobody would come
and the frame would have to go up on such terms. But everybody came
to see and jest at the failure of these temperance cranks. When they came,
however, they found a magnificent spread of mother's best cookery and long
tables under fine trees and a half a dozen pretty girls to serve them and so knew
that no stinginess was at the bottom of it and the boss and carpenters gave them
a good report of the way they were treated by the new-comers, and all turned
in to the work right merrily and the raising went off fine and after the jolly
feast that crowned it the ringleader of the crowd which came to show them
that they could not raise a house without rum, mounted a table and made a
speech, saying that it was the best raisin' he had ever heard of, and that Mrs. Fiske
was the handsomest woman and the best hostess in Ohio. At that the whole
crowd thanked her and her husband for having raised their house without rum,
so that they were all going home sober and yet jolly, and then the crowd gave
a rousing cheer and swung their hats, and the impossible was achieved. Some
kinsmen who had settled over in Michigan in Sarnia now, Jackson then, had writ-
ten that there they had no fever and that there was a fine farm there for him,
so they packed up their goods into covered wagons drawn by horses and cattle,
and went across the black swamp, a trip of six weeks. Took the new farm and
found their old enemy had followed them from Ohio so they were after a couple of
years shaken out of Michigan and out of the western fever as well, and returned to
Shelburne, where he bought a part of the large farm on which he was born. He
ultimately exchanged it for a part of the farm on which his wife was born at the
Falls, and finally, it still standing, he bought the identical house he had built
for his bride, moved into it and there in 1867 his beloved wife died in the very
FISKE GENEALOGY. 225
room where eight of her children had been born. After her death he lived for
eight years (part of the time only, the summers) with his eldest son, Orlando, in
Shelburne, or with his brother Samuel, yet spending about two thirds of his time
with his son Asa in Rochester and with Mrs. Hart in Philadelphia or New Haven.
He fell asleep at 85 in his brother's house in Shelburne, in the fall of 1875, after an
hour or two of suffering, with his eldest son at his bedside. He was of a most
gentle, genial, kindly nature, a lover of music, of fun, of man and of God, was
for many years a deacon in the Congregational Church and respected and hon-
ored by all who knew him. In his old age he straightened up after his life of
hard work, grew stouter, let his luxuriant silver beard grow full, and was a
marvelously fine picture of hearty, alert and serene age. His two eldest daughters
married clergymen, and the eldest son, for his first wife, a sister of Fidelia Fiske.
Two others of the family attained merited distinction as clergymen and authors.

to serve this church with the exception of about 3 years till Mar.
2, 1890, when on his waj^ to the Sabbath service he fell on the
ice, breaking his hip and closing his active ministry. He was a
frequent contributor to religious papers, keeping a scrap book
containing several hundred of his printed articles. He was a
man of most devoted piety. His first wife was Laura Arabella

m. 2d, Mrs. Margaret (Shepherd) Brown, dau. of Capt. Benjamin and Hepzibah
(Blake) Shepherd, of Wrentham; she was b. 1779; d. Apr. 30, 1850. Rev. Elisha
Fisk was the son of Robert and Mary (Hall) Fisk, and was born in that part of
Holliston now included in West Medway. At a year and a half of age his parents
removed to Upton, where he spent his youth, and where he became converted
under the ministry of Rev. Elisha Fish, whose name dififered from his own but by
a single letter. At five years of age he had read the Bible through. He set him-
self to gain a liberal education with reference to the ministry and by dint of perse-
verance, entered Brown Universitv, and graduated in 1795, an A. M. He was
tutor the three yoars following. While here he was approbated to preach the Gos-
pel. He preached the first time in Wrentham on the first Sabbath in May, 1798.
It was the first sermon he wrote and the text was Gen. i; i. It proved to be the
first of a long series of discourses to that people. Nov. 6 he received a call to
settle among them. The prospect was dark, indeed, but circumstances appeared
to make duty very plain. He was the forty-ninth candidate and but the second
who had received a call. Imagining the interminable catalogue which might follow
if he declined, he determined to break the non-apostolic succession, and accepted
the invitation Apr. 25. He was ordained over the first church in Wrentham June
12, 1799. Rev. Dr. Hitchcock of Providence preached the sermon. After occupy-
ing the field alone nearly 45 years, he proposed that a colleague should be settled,
and Rev. Horace James was inducted into this office Nov. i, 1843. Mr. Fisk still
continued to preach almost every Sabbath at home, in surrounding vacant places,
or in the pulpits of his brethren. The last Sabbath he spent on earth was employed
in preaching the Gospel and breaking the sacramental bread in the church of
Attleboro. It was an intensely cold day in December and the fatigue and exposure
of riding in an open sleigh some ten miles was more than a human frame of over
four score years' standing could endure. A cold and fever was the result, running
into a lethargic state, in which the ever busy spirit, having put its weary partner of
dust to sleep, softly withdrew. He died in the 82d year of his age, and 52d year of his
ministry, and was buried on the day of the regular meeting of the association at
his house. It was appointed to be there at his request, and he had anticipated its
coming with great satisfaction, not imagining that they should be convened for
his funeral. At the time of Mr. Fisk's ordination, the church was reduced to ten
members; and "they were divided in their religious opinions, and in many in-
stances strongly excited against each other, on account of the different positions,
which they had taken in the controversy with his predecessor, Rev. McAvery. Of
an observing mind, careful and conciliating in his conversation and manners,
interesting and popular in his pulpit performances, he succeeded, as few other
men would, in uniting and holding together very discordant materials, not only
at the commencement of his ministry, but through the vicissitudes of more than
fifty years. He gained and kept the enviable reputation of peacemaker." (Funer-
al Sermon by Rev. Dr. Stoors, Braintree.) As a fact illustrative of Mr. Fisk's rep-
utation the celebrated Hannah Adams once said that another question should be
added to the well known interrogatories in New England, "Who is the first man,"
etc., viz.: "Who is the most prudent man? Parson Fisk, of Wrentham." He
was blessed with additions to his church. In 1805, 51 were added to the church.
In 1815-16, 64 made profession of religion. In 1821, 43 were gathered in._ Again,
58 joined in 1832. The whole number of admissions during his sole ministry was
♦32.
Mr. Fisk possessed an iron constitution and great perseverance and was able
to labor, even in his advanced age, beyond the ability of many young men. He fre-

quently took long walks of five and even ten miles on his exchanges. He traveled
much on foot over his extensive parish. He was seldom unable to preach — but two
Sabbaths in forty years. He was seldom absent, or even tardy, at associate meet-
ings. He attended over 150 ecclesiastical councils; and did a large part of the edit-
ing of the "Christian Magazine," during its four years' continuance, and was in all
ministerial labors abundant.
Rev. Nathaniel Emmons, D. D., pastor of the church in Franklin, preached
the sermon at the funeral of his first wife, Lydia, July 13, 1805. The sermon was

at Plymouth, 2^Iass. Her mother's name was Willbur. She was a lineal descendant
of Rev. Samuel JNIann, the tirst minister of the town of Wrentham, mentioned in
Barber's Historical Collections of Mass. (Judge Fisk was born in Swansea, Mass.,
and was descended in both lines troni mar nobie class ot men who sought on
"the wild New England shore" "freedom to worship God." There has been a
tradition in the family that Benjamin Fisk, a brother of the great-grandfather of the
subject of this sketch, was governor of the colony of Connecticut, but this has not
been substantiated. A strong family likeness has always existed among the Rhode
Island Fisks. In early life he resided m Rhode Island, but subsequently moved
to Guilford, Vermont, a town which adjoined Brattleboro, where his father had
some time before purchased land. By an unfortunate business venture he lost
his patrimony, but by industry and frugality he accumulated sufficient for the
purchase of new land in the interior of the State. He accordingly settled in Lyn-
don, Caledonia county, within 40 miles of the Canada line. In tnat county he ever
after resided, respected and beloved by all who knew him. He received re-
peated proofs of the conhdence of his leliow citizens, lining various important
civil offices. Isaiah Fisk was one of the assistant judges of Caledonia county
court, 1807, 1809, 1810, 181 1, 1812. Chief judge of Caleaonia county court, i8it),
1817, 1818, 1819, 1820, 1821, 1822; then the ottice was more important than it is
now, under the revised constitution. He was a presidential elector from Ver-
mont in 181 7 and a delegate in the convention that nominated James Monroe
for President. Isaiah Fisk was a member of the general assembly of Vermont for
the following years from Lyndon, Vermont, Caledonia county: 1803, 1804, 1813,
1814, 1815, 1816, 1817, 1818, 1821, 1823. Besides these he filled various local
offices involving more care and responsibility than emolument. Twice he was
elected to the council of censors, which was then composed of thirteen mem-
bers, chosen once in seven years, by a general vote. Its province was to revise
all the official acts of the Legislature, executive and judiciary departments, dur-
ing the past seven years, with power to send for persons, papers and records.
It could pass censure, order impeachments and recommend the Legislature to re-
peal unconstittitional laws. Such a tribunal was a very important one. Judge Fisk
remained comparatively poor where many wouici have amassea a tortune. It was
his maxim that no man ought to enrich himself on the spoils of the public,
a maxim which through life he carried to a romantic extreme. With his wife he
early became a member of the church and took an active interest in it. Mrs. Fisk
was very assiduous in impressing tipon the minds of her children the principles
of Christianity. He d. June 7, 1859; res. Brattleboro, Lyndon and Charlestown, Vt.

Fisk was born in Killingly. Conn., where he learned the trade of a blacksmith.
Having mastered his trade, he was soon afterward united in marriage to Lydia
Aldrich. She came of Welsh descent, and in her veins flowed somewhat a sturdy
feeling and marked courage and the unfailing will that her ancestors knew. In
the fall of 1822, with his wife and two babies, he left Killingly for Livingston Co.,
New York. There he was a blacksmith, wagon l>uilder and general mechanic for
the country round about. IMuscular and willing, equipped with fine physique, he did
not shrink from hard toil. His shops 1:)ecame a source of mechanical supplies for

farmers all up and down the valley. As a citizen he acquired local repute as a
man of intelligence, enterprise and character. He was the captain of the militia,
and was deferred to as a leading spirit in town affairs. He finally moved to Clinton,

Oakland, Cal. His life has not been a very eventful one. Born
in 1820 in Connecticut, in 1821 or 1822, his parents moved to the
State of New York, Livingston Co., town of York; in 1830
they moved to Michigan (Clinton, Lenawee Co), where in
winter times he went to school three months, in summer
worked out, sometimes driving from six to ten yoke of cat-
tle before what was called a breaking-up plow. His father
died in 1832, leaving his mother with six boys, the eldest only
14 years old. He went to a trade when he was 15 years old
(fanning mill making). He worked at that until he was about
22, at which time he was elected constable and served one
year. In 1843 he went into a store, where he worked until
1847, at which time he enlisted in the ist regiment of Michi-
gan Volunteers, and w^ent to Mexico, where he remained until
the close of the war. He returned to Detroit, got an hon-
orab.c discharge, made his way back to Clinton and went into
business. Gold was discovered in California and he got the
fever and in 1853 he crossed the plains to California, where
he has wandered up and down for nearly forty-three years.
He ha^ been in the mines where he did mining and kept a
trading post. He has been well off and has been poor. He
has had the sciatica and a stroke of paralysis, also had a stroke
of footpads two years ago, which came very near killing him.
He is drawing a pension for service in the Mexican war.

1791; m. at Swansey, July 10, 1835, Anna Robinson, dau. of Gideon, now deceased,
and Patience, now wife of Oliver Chase, of Fall River; at the time of his marriage
he was of Scituate, R. I., and was married in Swansey according to the Friends'
record. She was b. July 5, 1808, and d. Dec. 27, 1889. He was b. in Johnston, R,
I., and died in Fall River in his 82d year. He received a liberal education for
those days and early studied medicine, but did not practice until late in life. He
was a fine penman and very fond of travel and taught penmanship in many places
in the United States, largely to see the country. At the time of his marriage in
1835 he purchased a farm in Scituate, R. i., where he kept a private school, with a
few day scholars, but mostly boarders. This school was patronized mostly by
Friends and Quakers, who sent their sons there to be fitted for college or for a bet-
ter education than could be obtained in the public schools in those days. In
1845 he decided to discontinue his school and practice medicine in Fall River.
He was a practicing physician in that city for 25 years, highly esteemed by every
one and very successful in his profession. He and his wife continued members
of the Society of Friends till death and were noted for a large exercise of the
old-fashioned style of genuine hospitality. No relative or friend of the family was
ever allowed to go to a hotel when visiting Fall River, and Dr. Fiske's house was
a rendezvous for the Abolitionist or escaping slave, and the Boston "Liberator,"
Garrison's paper, came to him as long as it was published. He left a homestead
and quite a little property. He d. June 2, 1873; res. Fall River, Mass.

John was a commissary in the U. S. army. Just before the close of the war his
dwelling house and outbuildings were burned by the enemy. After the war
closed he sold or traded his place and moved back east. Some traditional accounts

but it was torn up by his associates before it reached City Clerk

Oct. 19, 1758, Sarah Hill of Camb.; d. 1774; m. 2d, Mrs. Elizabeth (Breck) Treat; d.
1786; m. 3d, Mrs. Hannah (Wells) Reynolds. The place of his nativity was Wes-
ton, Mass.; born Sept. 9, 1733. In early life he was fond of reading; graduated at
Harvard College, Cambridge, 1754; ordained to the work of the gospel ministry
in Brookfield, May 28, 1758. The title of D. D. was conferred on him from Har-
vard College in 1792. He preached his last sermon from the text, Prov. 4: 18, "But
the path of the just is as a shining light," etc. In the evening of the same day,
Nov. 24, 1799, he spent in company with friends in apparent health, retired to
rest and sleep, which proved the sleep of death, at the age of 66. He pub-
lished a discourse on the settlement and growth of Brookfield, 1775; a feast sermon,
1776; a sermon on the death of Mr. Joshua Spooner, 1778; an oration on the cap-
ture of Lord Cornwallis, 1781 ; a funeral sermon of Mr. josiah Hobbs, who was
killed by lightning, 1784; a volume of sermons on various subjects, 1794; Dudleian
Lecture at Harvard College, 1796; two volumes of essays, entitled the "Moral Mon-
itor." 1801, after his decease. He was married first, to Sally Hill, who died 1774;
next to Mrs. Elizabeth Treat (originally Breck), who died 1786; after this to Mrs.
Hannah Reynolds (originally Wells), who survived him. He had six children,
five sons and one daughter. The eldest son died while a member of Harvard
College. Of the two other sons who graduated there, Oliver became a physician,
and Samuel first studied law and afterwards engaged in mercantile persuits. As
a preacher, it is said, he was not distinguished so much for the powers of oratory,
as for purity of sentiment and perspicuity and elegance of style. He was modest
and unassuming; and few men with his advantages have acquired a greater store
of rich and varied knowledge. He was highly esteemed by the people of his
charge and by his clerical brethren; as a learned divine, a reputable author, accept-
able preacher and devoted to the various duties of his profession. He d. Nov. 24,
1799; res. Brookfield, Mass.

Bank. In 1812 he was chosen cashier and held the ofhce until
he resigned, in 1846. Was also treasurer of the Worcester
County Institution of Savings from 1828 to 1853, besides this
he held various city and state offices. He was a member of the

widow Mary Fiske of Newton, in 1808. She d. in Newton, Sept., 1829. He d. in
Newton, Apr. 21, 1821, aged 85. Lieut. Joseph Craft, like his brothers, was a
smart, active, business man, and was held in high esteem by his townsmen. He
was an ardent patriot, and was in active service during a long period of the war
of the Revolution. He was present at the battle of Lexington, and was Lieutenant
in command of the company of Newton minute men at that time. They re-
mained on duty for four clays tollowing that battle. Again, in 1776, we learn from
the records that by order of the council, he marched as Lieutenant in command of
his company, Dec. 9, 1776, to join Col. Thomas Craft's regiment at Boston, and
among the privates in his company was Samuel Craft. Again, in 1778, he was
Lieutenant of the company of Capt. Edward Fuller, Col. Thrasher's regiment,- de-
tailed to guard the British troops, Sept. 2, 1778. Finally, in 1780, he once more
went into the field, and marched with his company to reinforce the Continental
army. He took an active part in town affairs. On Dec. 18, 1776, he was chosen on
a committee to adjust matters relative to "an allowance for soldiers for services
done in the war since Apr. 19, 1775, and also to consider in what manner the war
shall be supported by the inhabitants in the future." He gave substantial aid in
the cause of liberty by loaning £200 to the town, Jan. 6. 1777', for the purpose of
paying the soldiers. He was also a selectman in Newton during that year, 1777,
and doubtless held many other positions of trust and responsibility, of which we
are not informed. With his brother, Samuel, he was a residuary legatee of his
father's estate, which was very large. From the town records we learn that
he was taxed in Newton, Oct. i, 1798, for seventy-eight acres of land, valued at
$2,612. By his first w'ife he had five children, besides an infant which cost the life
of its mother, and did not survive. By his second marriage he had ten children,
and none by his third wife. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary war. He d. in
1785, in Pennsylvania, where he had gone on business. Res. Waltham. Mass.

his father settled before the town was incorporated. He was an active citizen in
the afifairs of the town and church and much trusted with the business of both.
He married his cousin who died one day after he passed away. Their bodies were
buried in one grave. He carried on a large farm and owned other real estate to a
large extent. He was a very liberal man and deacon in the Baptist Church, and
conducted what was called in those days a "Baptist Hotel." He entertained a
great many people free of charge. A short distance from his house and on the top
of Fisk Hill was the old fashioned Baptist meeting house with the high back square

June 24, 1841 ; a Baptist minister, who preached in the meeting
house on Fisk Hill for a good many years and until his health
failed, and he gave up preaching. He was college educated
and a very talented man, none superior or equal to him in the
very large association. He owned and worked on his farm.
It is remembered how in the winter season Rev. Leonard and
many of the congregation would go to Dea. Fisk's hotel to
spend the noon hour in the large old house. Three rooms
would be well warmed, one for men, where apples and cider
would be freely passed rovind and the minister and perhaps one
or two or more ol the old people invited to the pantry for a
lunch. Then tobacco and pipes passed round. The minister
was quite a smoker, and two of the old deacons took snuff.
One of them lived to be 104 years old, and he was summoned
as a witness after he was 100 years old to the court in Worces-
ter in the case of a pauper between two towns when he was
one of the selectmen of Sturbridge. Another of the rooms was
for the women, where the deacon's wife would furnish some
warm drink and apples. The other room was for the children
and they had apples. There was no Sunday school in those
days, not in that church. The children of Sally and Rev.

residence of her son Manning Leonard, Esq., in the adjoining
town of Southbridge, July 18, 1868, aged 86 years 3 months and
12 days. "Mrs. Leonard's extreme age made her an interesting
link with the past. She was granddaughter of the two first
settlers of Sturbridge — Lieutenant Henry Fiske, and his broth-
er, Deacon Daniel Fiske, who pitched their tent in 1731 on
what has been known ever since as 'Fiske Hill'."
"Her father was Deacon Henry Fiske, son of the first named,
who was the sixth of a family of 14 children, and her mother,
Sarah, daughter of the last named, and the second of a family of
16 children, and they were married Alay 5, 1774. Her father
died Dec. 10, 1815, aged 70, and her mother next day, aged 69,
and they were both buried in one grave in the old cemetery in
Sturbridge. They had nine children, Mrs. L. being the sixth,
and was born in 1782, a year celebrated for the birth of a great
number of prominent men in^this country, the last of whom — ■
Gov. Levi Lincoln — died May 29, 1868. She was married Sept.
I, 1799, to Rev. Zenas L. Leonard, a native of Bridgewater, who
had then been pastor of the Baptist Church on Fiske Hill more
than four years, with which church she united. Although she
was very young when she assiuned the responsible duties
of a minister's wife, which position, like that of the minister,
was no sinecure at that period, yet she developed at once a re-
markable capacity for the position. Though not rapid in her
movement yet her wonderful tact, perfect system, untiring in-
dustry, enabled her to accomplish a vast amount of work. She
was free from eccentricity, selfishness and hypocrisy, just what
she professed and appeared to be, and every day alike. Their
new home was established in sight of her birthplace during the
fiist year of this century, and was the center of attraction to
her for nearly si.xty-eight years. In addition to his pastoral du-
ties, her husband was for many years much engaged in in-
structing the youth of the neighborhood, having students in his
family who were fitted for college and the prominent positions
of business life. She sympathized with him, and aided him in
all his labors, and was indeed a helpmate. A very interesting
sketch of his life was published by Dr. Wm. Sprague, of Al-
bany, in his 'Annals of the American Pulpit,' 6th vol., pages
256 FISKE GENEALOGY.
347-354, to which the writer referred for many of the prom-
inent events of her hfe. Suffice it to say, in this dehghtful
home, where was always dispensed a courteous and bounteous
hospitahty, friend and stranger aUke welcomed and needs sup-
plied, they reared a family of seven children, three of whom
only survived their mother. The father died June 24, 1841, so
that she has had a widowhood of more than twenty-seven
years. She remained at the homestead where her son Linus
Leonard deceased Aug. 12, 1862,- until her 86th birthday — the
4th of Apr., 1868, when she made a brief visit to her daughter,
jNIrs. Emmons, and then came to her son's in Southbridge,
where an accident befel her on the 12th of June, which caused
her five weeks of intense suffering, and with her other maladies
and weaknesses of age, resulted in her death. She bore her
pains with wonderful patience and resignation, and as charac-
teristic of her whole life seemed more interested for others'
comfort than her own. Her obsequies were attended at her
son's house, Sunday afternoon, July 19, 1868, at three o'clock,
and it was pleasant to look upon her calm and placid features
which seemed to have renewed comparative youth, and to feel
that she had attained eternal rest. She was buried beside her
husband and eldest son in the new cemetery in Sturbridge.
"Two sisters survive her, and she left quite a number of de-
scendants to the third generation, in whose hearts, and those of
numerous relatives and friends who knew her excellencies, her
memory is sacredly enshrined. She will be sadly missed, with
her cheerful, cordial greeting, tender inquiry and constant in-
terest, but we could not wish her back to the sufferings and
wearinesses of age. She has lived a long and active, useful
and somewhat eventful life, and her rest must be sweet and
glorious." Southbridge Journal.
Fisk Hill is the most beautiful swell of land in the town,
possessing fertility, and commanding an extensive and delight-
ful view, in every direction. Here you have to the west, a full
view of the village of Sturbridge Centre, one mile, and beyond
in the same direction the view of Fiskdale appears to very good
advantage; at the north as far as the vision can extend, you
catch a view of the azure Monadnock, hardly distinguishable
from the surrounding atmosphere; very much nearer, about
twenty-seven miles away, the Wachuset appears head and
shoulders above her neighbors; nearer still, the town of Lei-
cester presents a beautiful appearance twelve miles distant. At
the east you have a view of the village of Charlton, on a grace-
ful swell of land, presenting a stately, and no less beautiful
appearance. _ Thence southerly, the eye sweeps over an expan-
sion of varied and lofty scenery, exhibiting spires, churches,
villages, and scattered residences, intermixed with the beauties
of nature. Take it all in all, the eye may dwell with a high de-
gree of pleasure on a rare assemblage of natural and artificial
attractions.
Transporting ourselves back to that period, when our
Fisk ancestors first commenced a settlement here, we may, in
imagination, catch a view of the almost unbroken forest, which
was spread out around them. Contrasting that scene with the
present, the change has lessened the sublimity of the prospect,
but not its beauties. This selection by the original settlers, viz!
—Henry and Daniel Fisk— is a manifestation of good taste and
sound judgment. The breezes here are somewhat searching,
but not too much so for health and a vigorous constitution'

On page 17, Historical Sketch of Sturbridge and Southbridge. Hon. George
Davis says: "On the southern declivity of this elevation was situated the neat and
■ comfortal)le Baptist Church. Here those families [of the Fisks], with others of
that denomination in various parts of the town, worsiiiped more than half a cent-
'iiry. Tlic Rev. Zenas L. Leonard was the watchman on this watch tower. Mr^
Leonard was " in season and out of season " in his devotion to the spiritual inter-
ests of liis charge."
The church building was raised June 3, 1784, on the land of Henry Fisk, and
in it several ministers preached previous to August, 1795, in which month Rev. Z.
L. Leonard first preached. During a period of thirty-six years he had immediate
charge of tlie congregation. Rev. Addison Parker followed him, preaching in
this building, and he then preached in a new building that was raised in Sturbridge
Centre in 1832.
The late Henry Morse Fisk (deceased Apr. 13, 1896) said: "The old building
Avas on the farm of Mr. John IMcKinstry. and when he sold his farm in the winter
of 1832 or spring of 1833 to Leonard Upham, he bounded on the land of Daniel
Fiske witiiout naming tlie meeting-house lot, and Mr. LTpham said he should hold
-the house and lot. The society did not want the house and Mr. McKinstry paid
for the building and land to the church or society. Mr. Upham soon after took
the l)uilding down, but what use was made of the material is not known."

He was a thrifty farmer, and an amiable and upright man. As a neighbor, a towns-
5iian, a citizen, and a Christian, he was kind, liberal and exemplary. He resided
northerly on the elevation of Fisk Hill. He possessed a strong intellect, and a
memory, in which were treasured very many important facts and events of the stir-
ring times in which he lived. The causes of the Revolution, and subsequent trans-
actions, were fresh in his memory. He was a prominent and efficient man in civil
and religious concerns. He left an extensive diary, which is a valuable reference
Avork. His conversation was always edifying and calculated to make a salutary
liiipression. Not only in his conversation but in the transactions of life was
clearly manifested his implicit dependence on Divine guidance in regard to the
path of duty. To this may be traced no doubt in no small degree, that cheerfulness
and serenity which uniformly marked his deportment. Capt. Fisk's personal
appearance was manly and commanding. He died at an advanced age. He was in
active service during the Revolution about six months, and received a wound in

His father died when he was but five years of age and ever after took care of
himself. While in the army he rose to the rank of Ensign in a Massachusetts
company. Shortly after the close of the war with his brother he migrated to
Vermont and settled at Randolph, on land he made a farm of, about a mile
lip the "Branch" (of White river, as the little stream was called, above where
is now the village of East Randolph. I have been told he cut the first tree cot
down in clearing up the town of Randolph. Here several of his older children
were born. After a few years he moved down into the village of East Randolph

subject of this sketch was old enough to realize the loss. A short time before he
was sixteen he joined the Continental army under Gen. Washington as a private
soldier, and during the remainder of the war cheerfully bore his share of the suf-
ferings and hardships of those who fought for freedom.
At his discharge from the army he returned to his native town, and, after at-
tending a district school the first winter, was employed in teaching school during"
several subsequent winters and labored by the montli the rest of the time until he
was married, when he moved onto a piece of forest land which he cleared and re-
duced to a state of cultivation by his own labor. He was elected a member of the
Assembly of Massachusetts, from Greenwich, when in his 22d year, and continued
a member of that body for six or seven years, serving during 1791-92-93-95 and
1896. Soon afterward he began to preach the doctrines of Universalism. Whert
35 years of age, in 1797, he removed to Barre in Vermont, and continued in the
clerical profession for some time. Later he was elected to the General Assembly
in the fall of 1801 which sat at Newbury.
Soon after taking his seat in that bovly, by his talent, energy and integrity, he
gained the confidence of his political party and the respect and esteem of his polit-
ical opponents.
He continued to be annually elected to the Assembly until he was chosen a
Representative to Congress in 1805, and continued a member of that body until
Mar. 4. 1815. During his career in Congress he was ever found the firm supporter
of his country's honor. He was in favor of a resort to arms rather than resort
to the haughty dictation of the self styled "Mistress of the Seas." He voted for
the declaration of war in 1812 and supported that measure in the hall of Congress,
and among his fellow citizens at home. Many now living well remember with
what interest, in 1812 and 1813 in assemblies of the people, they listened to his
voice, the voice of a Revolutionary soldier, as he vindicated the measures of the
general government, descriljed the insults and indignities which had been heaped
upon our government and people by a foreign power, and called upon them ta
vindicate their rights and fame. He enjoyed the confidence and esteem of Jeffer-
son, Madison and Monroe and their prominent supporters. In June, 1812, he was
offered by President Madison the position of Postmaster General, but declined.
FISKE GENEALOGY. 263
In July, 1812, he was appointed Judge of the territory of Indiana by James Madi-
son with the advice and consent of the Senate, but declined the office. The stren-
uous opposition of his friends to his leaving the State induced him not to accept
the appointment. He was possessed of a good ninid, sound judgment, and was
an excellent reasoner. He was of great integrity, and one of the few who held
and was otifered positions of trust without seeking them; he was a man of unusual
ability. He was both a personal and political friend of President Monroe, and at
Montpelier on the morning of July 24, 1817. at eleven o'clock, he had the pleasure
of delivering the address of welcome in behalf of the citizens of Montpelier and
vicinity to the President on reaching Montpelier on his tour through the New
England States. In 1802 he was Assistant Judge and in 1809 Chief Judge, of
Orange County, Vermont, and in 1815 and 1816 he was appointed one of tlie Judges
of the Supreme Court of Vermont. In 1817 he was/elected a Senator in Congress,
which office he held but one year and resigned. He was afterward Collector of
Customs for this district for eight years. He was marked for his decision. „of
character, his strict integrity, his powers of persuasion and his kind, affable de-
portment. He was a selfmade. a selftaught man. He has filled many offices with
honor to himself and to his constituents. His last days were tranciuit and serene.
In describing the speakers at the great war meeting in 1812, Mr. Thompson in his
history of Vermont says: "On one side sat the small-sized, keen-eyed, ready-wit-
ted and really talented James Fisk of Barre. who was then a member of Congress
and who had now come on to act as the champion of the Democrats at this m,eet-
ing." In 1809 the degree of A. M. was conferred upon him by Middlebury Col-
lege. He enlisted for service in the Revolutionary wai in Nov., 1781, in Capt.
Wm. Willis' Companj' in Col. John Brooks" Regiment of the Mass. line. He re-
sided in Hardwick and Greenwich, Mass. He applied for a pension July 23, 1832,
from Swanton, Vt.. where he was then residing. He was then 68 years of age.
His pension was granted and he drew $70.66 per annum (see Coolidge and Mans-

ment. About the time of the Revolution he was a Selectman and as such signed
the following: "We. the subscribers, do truly and sincerely acknowledge, pro-
fess, testify, and declare, that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, is and of right
ought to be. a free, sovereign, and independent State; and we do swear that we will
bear true faith and allegiance to the said Commonwealth, and that we will de-
fend the same against traitorous conspiracies and all hostile attempts whatsoever.
And that we do renounce, and abjure all allegiance, subjection, and obedience to
the King. Queen, or Governor of Great Britain (as the case may be), and every
other foreign power whatsoever. And that no foreign prince, person, prelate, state
or potentate, hath or ought to have any jurisdiction, superiority, pre-eminence, au-
thority, dispensing or other power, in any matter, civil, ecclesiastical, or spiritual,
within this Commonwealth, except the authority or power which is or may be
vested by their constituents in the Congress of the United States. And we do
further testify and declare, that no man. or body of men. hath or can have any
right to absolve or discharge us from the obligations of this oath, declaration, or
affirmation. And that we do make this acknowledgment, profession, testimony,
declaration, denial, renunciation and abjuration, heartily and truly, according to
the common meaning and acceptation of the foregoing words, without any equivo-
cation, mental evasion, or secret reservation whatsoever. So help us God." He
held other town offices and at one time was a member of the Legislature. He died

was shot by her brother, a few years in advance of her in age.
John (the name of the brother who committed the act) had
been out with a still older brother in himting excursions, and
at this time leveled the gun. which happened to be loaded, at
his infant sister, remarking that "he would kill a wild goose."
The contents of the gun were lodged in the side of the girl,
who fell instantly over the warping bars, in the northeast cham-
ber of the house. The stains of the blood on the floor were
vof i^anv vears since plainly to be seen.

1732; m. Sarah Bullard, of East Medway; dau. of John; d. in 1830. David Fiske,
son of John and Abigail Leland Babcock, b. Apr. 16, 1732, was a noted descendant
from many noted English families, viz.: Fiskes, Lelands and Babcocks; the latter
name being among those old. noted and true Pilgrims who sailed from Holland
in ship Anne, and came to this country to worship God according to the dictates
of tiTcir own consciences. Mr. Fiske was a man of great energy of character; faith-
ful to the trusts confided to him; an active business man; a large and successful
farmer; owner of large tracts of land in this vicinity. He was a man of military
attainments and ambitious to serve his country and State in the early wars with
the Indians, and it is recorded in his private daily diary of his marching from his
native town. May 22, 1758, through many of the western towns of the State to New
York, there meeting other regiments and troops from other states. They cap-
tured many forts and dispersed enemies, and their raid was a sviccess. Return-
ing home he settled on his farm again, where he prospered in his chosen vocation,
rearing and educating a large family; and it is said of him that when the sons be-
came of age he gave each one of them a farm, except the youngest, Timothy (to
him he gave a college education), who graduated at Harvard as M. D. In his diary
are found receipts for goodly sums of money given to all his children at their
majority. He d. Dec. 23, 1817; res. Holliston, Mass.

purchased land in Oxford, opposite Town's Pond, upon which he went to reside.
There he was married to his wife, the daughter of the local clergyman. He had
studied medicine elsewhere, and was well versed in physics in all its intricate
branches. He soon became the leading physician of the town and was also
well known in all the country rotmd about. He had many students, for in those
early days the prospective physician was obliged to study with a regular prac-
titioner. Among his students who later became celebrated were Drs. Holbrook, of
Thompson, Conn., and Dr. Bullard of Sutton. Besides being a successful practi-
tioner he was very active and public spirited in town affairs. He was an active
free mason and one of the leading men in the formation of the Oxford society,
a stockholder in the Central Cotton Mfg. Co., an adherent of Shay's in the famous
incipient rebellion. He went to Cambridge at the time of the siege of Boston, had,
it is related, an interview with Gen. Washington, and was offered a surgeon's ap-
pointment, which he declined. He was Selectman in 1782-3-4. Erected the resi-
dence he resided in in 1791, which is still standing. At his death, by his request,
no Masonic services were held at his grave. The funeral was very largely attended
and was a remarkable occasion. He d. Aug. 6, 181 5; res. Oxford, ]\Iass.

he went to St. Louis. Mo. In a letter to a friend he says, after
mentioning the States he had passed through, "I think of all
the places in my travels, no one equals this. It is without ex-
ception the finest country I ever heard or saw for goodness,
but the inhabitants are indolent, living from hand to mouth.
Millions of acres of land in this, the Northwest Territory, are as
level as a floor, without a tree upon it, but grass as high as your
head on horseback, and very thick; 100 bushels of corn to the
acre; wheat good, but no good mills at present; through idle-
ness. Can keep 200 hogs, 100 cows, 50 horses here as easy as
you can five hogs. I have been to the lead mines and find
there is made in this territory 3,000 tons of lead per year." He
remained west until the war of 1812 and enlisted. Was acting
Adjutant at Newport, Ky. In Aug.. 1814, was in command of

tutor in Dartmouth College from 1788 to 1795, when he removed to Pelham,
Tenn., and died there, aged 83. He remained single until he was 50 years of age,
when he married and reared a family of nine children. He ever manifested a
strong disapprobation of involuntary servitude; was never the owner of a slave,
although surrounded by slaves all his life. He was the author of several pub-

mouth College, in 1791; studied theology with Rev. Dr. Lyman, at Hatfield, and
was ordained to the ministry at Hadley in May, 1794. For some time he preached
as an evangelist in Geneva, N. Y.; Milford, Conn., and North Brookfield, Mass,
He declined these calls, but accepted one to New Braintree, Mass., where he
was installed pastor in Aug., 1796. In 1809 he had a revival which was prolonged
two years, and this was repeated in 1818-19-26-31-42, by which large numbers
were gathered in the church. He preached his half-century discourse in the
New Braintree church, Oct. 26, 1846, which was published. He was interested
in education, was one of the efficient helpers in the building up of Amherst Col-
lege, and received the degree of D. D. from that institution in 1844. He continued
to preach and perform pastoral duties, with the assistance of a colleague, until
Oct., 1854. He spent sixty-one years in the actual ministry, and above si.Kty-
eight with the same people. In person he was tall, well-proportioned, of digni-
fied manners, of serene and intelligent countenance. He possesed a clear, well
balanced mind, and a general completeness of character seldom found. His pul-
pit efforts were marked by eminent good sense and great appropriateness, espe-
cially in prayer. A number of his discourses were published. He d. Mar., 1855;

William Fiske, the father, was ordained at Mr. Beecher's
church. He returned south two years ago. and has been in
the employ of the government as superintendent of schools
in a district about New Orleans. He has always felt a deep
interest in the blacks, and since he has been among them he
has preached constantly, as well as taught them. But he felt
that he could be of more use and have more iiifluence, if he
were an ordained minister, and as he was obliged to corrje
North, on account of ill health, he improved the opportunity

d. Jan., 1883. He was born in Barre, Mass.,
where he resided until 21 years of age when he
went to Boston, where he lived about ten years
(married there in 1813). Then moved to New
York, lived there until his death on August 12,
1868. He was formerly in the produce commis-
sion business, but retired many years before his
death. He was a very domestic man, devoted to
his family — a most genial and kmdly nature.
Those who knew him speak of his kindly na-
ture and say they don't believe he had an en-
emy in the world, and he had many, many
friends. He was not active in politics, nor did
he accumulate a large fortune, but that is not all
of life. He was an active Mason, and had a
Masonic funeral. One of the obituary notices
published at the time of his death says that "he
was held as authority on disputed matters rela-
tive to Masonic usage, and his opinion was held
in high respect by the craft." He d. Aug. 12,

A true record of the return Aaron Leland Clerk." The Town Clerk of Cavendish.
Vt., writes that there is nothing on the records of Fisks. Chester was never any
part of any other town. It first received its charter in 1763 as New Flam-
stead. Afterwards the name was changed to Chester. He was born
in New England and was a successful physician. He settled in Genesee Co.,
N. Y. His eldest son, Dr. David Lewis Fisk, located in Kentucky and the father
paid him a visit. Being much pleased with the country he decided to locate there
himself. He resided for some time in Kentucky before sending for his family. He
boarded with John Carlisle, the grandfather of John G. Carlisle (not then born),
the present Secretary of the Treasury. Dr. Fisk on his way back to New York
stopped at Mount Vernon, O., to visit some friends he had known in the east, and
there he died. He had resided in what was then Pomfrey Hollow, now
Gran, and in Manlius Square, both in Onondaga County, N. Y. He resided but
a very short time in Genesee County, N. Y., and then returned to Onondaga
County, N. Y. He was a handsome man, six feet, well proportioned, healthy,
and quite an athlete. He was a natural doctor and became eminent in his profes-
sion. In making a diognosis he exhibited rare ability. He was of a rather
roving disposition and acquired property slowly. He d. Feb. 28, 1829; res. Gen-

Fisk was bred a farmer, having few advantages for an education besides those fur-
nished by the common school. In the winter seasons from 1822 to 1840 he was
mostly employed in teaching public and "rivate schools. For nearly twenty years,
commencing Mar., 1824, he was a member of the Superintending School Com-
mittee of his native town; and during that time he had the satisfaction of seeing
the common schools of Dublin rise from the lowest to the highest rank among
similar institutions in the State. While farming was his principal business, he
has been employed more or less in surveying lands, and routes for roads, in
settling estates and in taking care of funds belonging to individuals.
He was one of the compilers of the "History of Dublin," published in 1855,
which is regarded as a work of some merit. He has held several positions of honor
and trust, among them are that of Town Clerk; agent to defend the town in several
long and perplexing law suits; agent having charge of the town funds ($18,768.80)

1862, and entered the service as a Sergeant in Company A,
Fourteenth Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteers. Nov. 2,
1863, he was commissioned Second Lieutenant of Company E,
Fourteenth Regiment, and May 27, 1864, he was promoted to
First Lieutenant of Company K, in the same regiment. On
being mustered in as First Lieutenant he took command of the
company which he held to his death. He was killed in the
battle of Winchester, Va., Sept. 19, 1864. An ofiicer of the reg-
iment said of him: "Lieutenant Fisk will be remembered as
a dutiful son, an affectionate brother, a dear friend, an agree-
able companion, a kind neighbor, a true soldier, and a brave
officer. His townsmen bear ample testimony to his worth as
a citizen and a man. In the army too, officers and men
keep his memory green, and sadly call to mind that he will
no more join them on the march, at bivouac, in camp or where
death shots fall thick and fast He was ever ready to do a
kind deed, both at home and abroad, and many a soldier re-
members him kindly for attentions received at his hands while
on a sick bed. He was prompt to do his duty and 'died at his
post' in the van of the fight. A patriot's honors rest upon his
brow."

Island, was married, and soon returned, bringing the household effects and wife
in an ox team. He lived in a log house twenty years, when he erected the frame
house now standing. He possessed a rugged constitution and was remarkably
fitted to encounter the obstacles and endure the privations necessarily experienced
during the establishment of a home in the wilderness. Mr. Fisk was a great hunter
and trapper in the early days, and many good stories are related of his adventures
with wild game. He led a laborious and industrious life, always peaceable and

m. at Isle La Motte, Vt., Polly Scott, dau. of Henry, b. 1787; d. Jan. 23. 1864.
Samuel Fisk, Esq.. was born Aug. 9, A. D. 1776; came to Isle La Motte, in the
State of Vermont, with his father Ichabod Ebenezer Fisk, a collegiate in the year
A. D. 1788, said family being one of the first families who settledsaid Isle La
Motte and located upon the real estate which afterward developed into the Fisk
Marble Quarry in said Isle La Motte. Through the opportunities afforded by
his father, Samuel became well educated. He had a very peculiar manner of
expressing his ideas in language that indicated a large degree of magnanimity
which he actually possessed. His sayings and aphorisms were remembered by
FISKE GENEALOGt. 297
his contemporaries and handed down to posterity. Those who knew him in his
Hfetime say that he was never known to distress or to attempt to distress or
injure a person no matter how much he might be aspersed, mahgned or tra-
duced; retaliation and vindictiveness being foreign to his nature. He was always
affable and generous in his impulses. The writer hereof lived a near neighbor
to Samuel Fisk fifty years ago and knows that the statements above narrated are
true. Samuel Fisk was one of the first organizers of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, in said Isle La Motte, and always gave liberally from his large resources
for the maintenance of said church during his lifetime. He represented his town
in the General Assembly of the State of Vermont in the year A. D. 1802, and gave
his town a name at said Legislature, calling it "Vineyard." It bore that name
until 1830, when it was changed and named "Isle La Motte." The said Samuel
was the first of the Fisk family who originated and developed the noted Fisk
Marble Quarry in Isle La Motte. By this industry and his large farming opera-
tions he became wealthy and was the richest man in town for a number of years
and up to his death, which occurred at Isle La Motte Jan. 25, 1858. In his life-
time he married Polly Scott, and their children's names were Sylvia, Laura,
Julia, Ira E., Nelson, Henry S., Hiram C, Sarah and Julius S., who are all
deceased. Samuel Fisk was 81 years 5 months and 16 days old at his decease.

Fiske, author, was born in Hartford, Conn., Mar. 30, 1842.
He is the only child of Edmund Brewster Green, of Smyrna,
Del., and Mary (Fiske) Bound, of Middletown, Conn. The
father was editor of newspapers in Hartford, New York and
Panama, where he died in 1852, and his widow married Hon.
Edwin W. Stoughton, of New York, in 1855. The son's name
was originally Edmund Fiske Green. In 1855 he took the
name of his maternal great-grandfather, John Fiske. He lived
at Middletown during childhood and until he'entered Harvard,
where he was graduated in 1863. He was graduated at the
Harvard Law School in 1865, having been already admitted to
the Suffolk bar in 1864, but has never practiced law. His
career as author began in 1861, with an article on "Mr. Buckle's
Fallacies," published in the "National Quarterly Review."
Since that time he has been a frequent contributor to American
and British periodicals. In 1869-71 he was university lecturer
on philosophy at Harvard; in 1870 instructor in history there,
and in 1872-79 assistant librarian. On resigning the latter
place, in 1879, he was elected a member of the board of over-
seers, and at the expiration of the six years' term was re-elected
in 1885. Since 1881 he has lectured annually on American
history at Washington University, St. Louis, Mo., and since
1884 has held a professorship of American history at that in-
stitution, but continues to make his home at Cambridge. He
lectured on American history at University College, London,
in 1879, and at the Royal Institution of Great Britain in 1880.
Since 1871 he has given many hundred lectures, chiefly upon
American history, in the principal cities of the United States
and Great Britain. The largest part of his life has been de-
voted to the study of history; but at an early age inquiries into
the nature of human progress led him to a careful study of the
doctrine of evolution, and it was as an expounder 0I this doc-

trine that he first became known to the public. In 1871 he
arrived at the discovery of the causes of the prolonged infancy
of mankind, and the part played by it in determining human
development; and the importance of this contribution to the
Darwinian theory, now generally admitted, was immediately
recognized by Darwin and Spencer. His published books are:
"Tobacco and Alcohol" (New York, 1868) ; "Myths and Myth-
Makers" (Boston, 1872) ; "Outlines of Cosmic Philosophy,
based on the Doctrine of Evolution" (2 vols., London, 1874, re-
published in Boston) ; "The Unseen World" (Boston, 1876) ;

(Boston, 1883); "The Destiny of Man Viewed in the Light of
His Origin" (Boston, 1884); "The Idea of God as affected by
Modern Knowledge" (Boston, 1885) ; and "American Political
Ideas Viewed from the Standpoint of Universal History" (New
York, 1885); "Critical Period of American History" (1888);
"Beginnings of New England" (1889): "The War of Independ-
ence, for Young People" (1889); "Civil Government in the

man's Interpreter of Science for the People" (New York, D.
Appleton & Co., 1894) ; "A Japanese Translation of The Des-
tiny of Man" was published at Tokio in 1893.
He received degree of doctor of letters from the University
of Pennsylvania, 1894; doctor of laws, Harvard University,
1894; has been a fellow of the American Academy of Sciences,
member of the American Oriental Society, American Folk-
Lore Society, British Folk-Lore Society, Massachusetts His-

1801; d. 1865. Haley Fisk was born in Cumberland, R. I., in 1793. He was a
machinist and engineer by trade, and while in Paterson, N. J. during the war of
1812, raised a company, of which he was Lieutenant, and went to Cape May for
duty as a member of the State Militia; was not called on to go further. He was
an expert swordsman and a good musician. During his life he had charge of a
powder mil! at Spotswood, N. J., which blew up after he left there. He was also
in charge of the work of building the lower lock of the Delaware and Raritan canal
at that city, when the canal was built, and afterward started the first iron foundry
in that city and built the boiler and engine with which it was run. Before this
was finished he ran the foundry by horse power. He was a friend of Henry Clay
and other prominent Whig politicians and was a power in politics in the 40's, and
up to the war, in that city and county, was Justice of the Peace for over thirty-
five years. For a number of years he was a county judge, and was prominent
in social aftairs. His honest)' was a proverb and as Justice he preferred to have
litigants settle their differences rather than throw money into his hands by litiga-
tion. He was a Mason and when the two lodges of F. & A. M's. in that city were
broken up during the anti-Masonic craze he was the means of gathering the mem-
bers together and forming what was called the Union Lodge, which is still in
existence. He was ever after called the "Father of the Lodge." He was buried in
that city with Masonic honors. He d. in Greenpoint, N. Y., 1877; res. New

a farmer. Nathaniel Fisk possessed a remarkable mind and was no ordinary
orator at Masonic festivals. But like all the rest of the Fisk family of whom one
has any knowledge, was exceedingly modest and unpretending, being content to
lead a quiet life on his farm. Nathaniel Fisk was an active, zealous Mason, as also
were all his sons by his first wife, Lois Van Buren Hall. During the days of anti-
Masonry, by the appointment of the Grand Lodge he had much to do in tracing
out the life of Morgan, who was said to have been murdered by the Masons
for being untrue to his Masonic obligations. Mr. Fisk found positive proof that
Morgan was not murdered, but left the United States, went to Germany, where he
lived many years and died there. One of our foreign Ministers saw Morgan in
Germany, recognizing him and conversed with him concerning the reports of
his murder. He d. in West Bush, N. Y.; res. Mayfield, N. Y.

Mar. 7, 1812; d. July 27, 1888. Lonson and his brothers went to Newark at such an
early age that important links in the history back of Jonathan were either not
known to them or were lost or forgotten. The old family homestead is located
about three miles southwest of Newark, N. Y., and on this farm nine children were
born, all now (1895) alive, although the father and mother are dead.
The father was deacon of the Newark Baptist Church forty years; held town and
village ofifices, and, although one of the early settlers there, accumulated a very
respectable property. He and his wife lived to celebrate the fiftieth anniverssary
01 marriage, enjoying the occasion in the presence of their unbroken family, to-
gether for the first time in twenty years. Lonson Fisk was a farmer's son, and
chose farming as a life occupation for himself. At the age of 21 he located on a
farm adjoining his father's, near Newark, in the southwest part of Wajaie Co., New
York. He had a good common school education, and by reading kept pace with
the times in knowledge of the world's doings. He was a Christian man in the full
sense of the word, and gave liberally of his time and means to the church. He,
though interested in political affairs, never held ofifice. In 1873 he left the farm in
the care of one of his sons and resided in the village of Newark until his death. He

dau. of William and Susannah (Whitney) Alden, b. Needham, Mass, Sept. 13, 1806;
d. Nov. 16, 1885, in Ashland. He remembers back to the age of two and a half
years when a company of militia were passing the house, and the family had
assembled at the windows leaving no place for him. So he thrust his head out of
the cat-hole near the floor. The captain saw his head and wishing a little sport
rode up and drawing his sword said, "Take your head in or I shall cut it off." At
his advanced age of nearly 92 he laughs about it now and says it is needless to say
his head went in. When 4 years of age his father moved to Eden, Vt., on a two-
hurse sled. He rode on one side of the sled while his sister [Margaret sat
upon the other side so no points of interest should be passed unnoticed on the way,
At the age of 14 he and his sister Margaret were bound out to their brother
Clark, until they became of age, to work out the old debt Ciark had paid tor his
father when he lost so much as a huckster. He came to Boston at 21, and drove
stage from Boston to Worcester for a few years. During that time became ac-
quainted with Hannah Whitney Alden, and returned to Eden, bought a farm,
erected buildings (near his father's home), and married, Jan. 14, 1834. There
his six children were born, and in 1855 moved to Hyde Park, on account of beiter
schools for his children. He returned, to his own home in Eden in 1861. Sold and
bought a farm in Ashland, Mass., in Apr., 1865, where he now (1895) lives at the
age of 91 years and 7 months. He was always and even now is fun-loving, believing
that it is better to not watch for the solemn shadows that will surely find us. but
make the most of life as we go along. Honest and upright in his dealings, often
telling his children that no Fiske was ever behind the bars. Is a Congregationalist
in creed. Republican in politics. An Ashland paper in referring to its aged citizen
says: "Four Score and Twelve Years. — Our honored townsman, Washington
Fiske. reached the age of 92 years last Saturday, and was able to be up and receive
his friends who called upon him with congratulations for a life so well rounded
out in years, strength and usefulness. Your correspondent was shown the photo-
graphic group of four generations which are now represented in this household —
Mr. Fiske, senior, the central figure; at his right his son, G. C. Fiske; his grand-
daughter, Mrs. Nina (Fiske) Prouty; and at his left his great-grandson, Claude
Granville Prouty. Among the guests was his niece. Mrs. Lizzie Bassett, of
Worcester. Mr. Fiske bids fair to round out the century, although he has for

went to Boston, where he \vas first engaged in the construction of wharves, and
short!}' afterwards turned his attention to cooperage. Later brick manufacturing
and operations in real estate occupied most of his time and attention. However,
he found time to successfully operate a quarry and till a large acreage for farm pur-
poses. Before Somerville became a city he was for a number of years one of its
selectmen and prominent in its aftairs. He was one of the heaviest tax payers,
as his interests in real estate were large. Being too old he was not drafted, but
paid a man ^500 to serve in the army at the time of the late war. One fact occurs
as being important: He owned the patent and built the first kiln for the man-
ufacture of bricks with one side glazed or marbleized. Bricks so treated are in
quite general use today. Gen. James Dana and he owned and developed a large
part of the northeasterly side of Somerville. He was abstemious, honest, frugal,
of intense activity, and a very successful man of business in those days. Fruit

having scarcely any means as regards schools, or the funds, in consequence of his
fathcM' not being able to provide them on account of his feeble health. Like the
"Bobbin Boy," and others, he succeeded in acquiring an excellent education and

Woodward. He entered college at Princeton, N. J., in the winter of 1846-47 and
was graduated in the summer of 1849. His graduation was followed by a singular
and very severe and protracted illness, unfitting him for any labor for three years.
In the autumn of 1852 he had so far recovered that he gradually resumed his stud-
ies, having removed in the meantime to Terre Haute, Ind. He was licensed to
preach in the spring of 1854 and immediately took charge of the Presbyterian
Church at Greencastle, Ind.; was ordained and installed a year later and continued
in this pastorate for more than twenty years. He received the degree of D. D.
from the State University of Indiana. He was for some years president of the
Indiana Female College. Since leaving that he has been engaged in ministerial
work at dififerent points, at present at Rockport, Ind., though he still retains his

Stevenson, b. Sept. 6, 1834. Henry W. Fisk was the youngest son of Jonathan
and Susanna (Williams) Fisk, and was born at Goshen, Orange County, N. Y.
The family moved to Coshocton, Ohio, in the autumn of 1834. His mother died
in July, 1841. Henry's home for the succeeding eight years was with one or the
other of his sisters, Mrs. Esther S. Welsh or Mrs. Georgiana Burt. In Oct., 1849,
he went with his father to Terre Haute, Ind., where he spent about four months
as a clerk in a grocery store, and four months in school, after which he entered
the shop of Barton & Co., as an apprentice, to learn the marble cutting trade.
After two years at this work he entered Waveland Academy as a student. Near
the close of his second year at this institution his health became so much impaired
as to necessitate his leaving school and it was four years before he returned to it.
A part of this time was spent in work at his former trade, one year of which was
in Iowa, at Sigourney and Marion — this was the year 1855. In the spring of 1856
he went to St. Paul, Minn., where he spent six months at the same work. In
Oct., 1856, he returned to Indiana, where he engaged in teaching until the summer
of 1858. At the opening of the fall term 1858 he re-entered the school, then Wave-
land Collegiate Institute, where he graduated July 8, 1859, receiving the degree of
B. S. In Sept. following he taught in the public schools of Paris, 111., and after-
ward in Edgar Academy at the same place. From there he went to the Wave-
land (Ind.) Institute as professor of mathematics. In the fall of 1861 he took
charge of Maple Grove Academy, near Vincennes, Ind.. where he continued for
about four years. In the fall of 1864, having read the course in theology under the
guidance of his pastor. Rev. F. R. Morton, and passed the customary examination,
he was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of Vincennes, Sept. 10. In the spring
of 1865 he took charge of a home mission field with headquarters at Petersburg,
Ind., continuing in this work for five and one-half years, when failing health
necessitated a change. In the fall of 1870 he took charge of Beulah Church. Rock
Island County, 111. After nearly two years in this charge he removed to Hamlet,
Mercer County, 111., becoming pastor of Hamlet and Perryton Churches. He con-
tinued in this field thirteen years, resigned, and in Sept., 1885, was called to the
pastorate of Peniel and Millersburg Churches; he remained with them seven years,
when, having been partially disabled by the grippe and compelled to seek lighter
work, he obtained charge of the Viola (111.) Church and moved there in Oct., 1892.

making the old homestead one of the finest places in the town. He was known
throughout the country as a successful farmer and breeder of choice Jersey stock.
He was always active in church and Sunday school work and influential in town
affairs. An obituary notice says: "Of quiet demeanor, yet force of character, his in-
fluence was a potent factor in the history of the town. He was self reliant and
could not by fear or flattery be swerved from principle. He was sincere, con-
scientious, reliable. His word was as good as his bond. In home life he was
genial, pleasant, kindly; as a citizen, large minded, public spirited." He d. Aug.

bury, Vt., July 28, 1852. He received his education at the common schools and at
Barre (Vt.) Academy. His student life was cut short by the war, however. He enlisted
as private in Company B, Thirteenth Vermont Regiment. At the battle of Gettys-
burg, under Gen. Stannard, he took part with the Second Vermont Brigade in
movements that good judges pronounce the "turning points" of this battle, which
is called the "turning point" of the war. On the second day of the fight when the
confederates had well nigh pierced our center, the Thirteenth Vermont was called
into action and made a charge against a brigade of the enemy, driving it back
and following it up for some distance and capturing many prisoners although
the regiment was unsupported on either flank. Mr. Fisk was slightly wounded in
this charge but did not leave the field, and the next day took part in the famous
movement of Gen. Stannard's troops when they fell upon the flank of Gen. Pickett's
advancing column and completed its discomfiture. Soon after this battle Mr. Fisk
had an attack of typhoid fever which nearly cost him his life and left him unfitted
for further army service. He settled upon the old homestead in Waitsfield and
cared for his parents in their declining years. He has held several important offices
in his native town, with acceptance. He was chosen deacon of the Congregational
Church at the age of 24, which ofifice he still holds. He has frequently written
acceptable articles for the press, especially upon agricultural and Grand Army top-
ics; res. Waitsfield, Vt.

FISKE GENEALOGY. 327
was born on his father's farm, in Fayette, Me., Feb. lo, 1829. His family failing,
his boyhood life was one of hard work, with little education. At 21 he was em-
ployed in a mill yard at Manchester, N. H., at 75 cents a day, working twelve hours
at very hard work, out of which he paid board and expenses. After working in
the mill yard, in a hotel and family, he returned to Maine; attended a private school
eight weeks, the Maine Wesleyan Seminary twenty-three weeks, and the Waterville
Academy fifteen weeks, working on a farm and teaching during vacations. He
was compelled to use rigid economy, and for thirteen weeks carried his week's
provision in a basket on his arm, while at the Wesleyan Seminary, and lived during
two terms at the Waterville Academy on crackers, West India molasses and cold
water, six days out of seven, and for a rarity had baked meat and beans, coffee and
brown bread for Sundays. Hard work, hard study, the sudden change from school
to hard work and from hard work to school, began to undermine his health, and in
1852 he came to Mt. Pulaski, 111., and after peddling books awhile, he taught
school until Apr., 1857, when he came to Lincoln, 111., to complete his law studies
(which he had commenced while teaching), at the same time writing in the office
of the clerk of the courts. In Nov., 1857, he was elected Justice of the Peace,
which office had yielded his predecessor $350 per year. He was appointed notary
public in 1857, which office he has held for thirty-eight years, and was admitted to
the bar of the State of Illinois, in 1858. In four years his office of Justice of
the Peace and his other business yielded him over $7,000, which laid the founda-
tion for a competence. His next move in life was a great sacrifice in health and
financial success. In Aug., 1861, he entered the service as First Lieut., in Com-
pany H., Fourth Regiment of Cavalry, Illinois Volunteers.; was promoted to
Captain, July i, 1862; appointed Lieutenant-Colonel of the Third United States Col-
ored Cavalry, by the President, in 1864, but declined and was mustered out of ser-
vice in Nov., 1864, after serving three years and three months, his health having
been completely broken down by the hardships of the service. He returned
to Lincoln, where he has since resided. During his service, he took part in the
capture of Fort Henry, Fort Donelson, the battle of Shiloh, siege of Corinth,
advance into Mississippi under Grant, and many other sharp engagements. At
Fort Henry, Lieutenant-Colonel McCollough, his commander, with 150 men,
marched to the rear of the fort; the garrison, except those at the water-battery,
fled up the river. McCoJlough entered the fort; about twenty men under the Cap-
tain of Company H went to the water-battery, while McCollough (Fisk in com-
mand of Company H.) charged the retreating rebels, over 2,000 strong; stampeded
them; chased them ten miles, capturing all their cannon, baggage and rear guard.
This taught Captain Fisk to fight his cavalry with a dash and desperation.
Three incidents we will relate. Nov. 30, 1862, he was ordered, with his command
of 125 dismounted men to develop the enemy, who were in a thicket. Amoving in
line to within close range, he ordered the men to hold their fire and charged the
thicket. The enemy gave a volley, but with a yell Fisk's men dashed on, stam-
peded the rebels, who fled. The rebels proved to be a Texan regiment of 450 in-
fantry. The Texan Colonel said he had believed one Southerner could whip three
"Yankees," but he found one Yankee could whip three Texans. In May, 1863,
with twenty men, half raw recruits, he suddenly met eighteen picked rebels. Fisk
instantly ordered the charge, stampeded them, and captured five. Aug. 8, 1864, in
Concordia Parish, La., 300 Texas rebels were about to surround forty of his regi-
ment. With sixty men he galloped in column to close range, deployed in line at
a gallop, ordered his men to hold tlieir fire for close quarters, and charged without
halting. The onslaught was so sudden, the rebels fled. His instructions to his
rnen were: 'Tf you are ever in close quarters, with nine chances of death, and one
to escape, take the tenth chance and you will escape." Following these instruc-
tions, although many times in close quarters, he never had a man captured. His
discipline over and kindness to his men were noted. But one man under his com-
mand deserted, although twenty-eight of his men deserted while under the com-
mand of his successor. He received an honorable mention in Davidson and
Stuvee's "History of Illinois" for a reconnoissance on the flank of the enemy at the
battle of Shiloh. In 1865 he was elected a member of the first city council of
Lincoln, and served as chairman of the finance committee, and the other most
important committees. In 1867 he was elected Justice of the Peace for four
years. Finding his health would not permit a general practice of the law. he, in
1866, opened a real estate and counsellor-at-law office, which vocation he has fol-

lowed to the present time. He married Miss Ellen M. Wakefield, daughter of Na-
than B. and Ruth (Leffingwell) Wakefield, of Kingsville, Ohio, by whom he has two
children, Ruth Melenda, and Franklin, Jr. He is giving his children a liberal
education, of which he was denied, his daughter having taken graduate and post-
graduate courses and a course in music, and his son entering college as freshman,
at i6. In politics, he was a conservative Whig, up to 1856, when being an eye-
witness to the United States Marshal's border ruffian posse's acts at Lawrence,
Kan., he became, and remained, a stanch Republican. His religious motto is:
"Do right in all things, and trust God for the result." Res. Lincoln, 111.

Ebenezer, William, William, John, William, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Sy-
mond), b. Troy, N. Y., Nov. 4, 1824; m. in Brownville, N. Y., Sept. 22, 1852, Susan
Mathews Bradley, b. May 18, 1831. John Brad-
ley was a native of Cheshire, Conn. The ances-
tors of the Connecticut Bradleys appear to have
lieen William and Isaac, both of whom settled in
New Haven, the former in 1645, the latter
(spelled Bradlee) in 1683, having stopped some
time in Bradford, Mass. Both families have
numerous descendants. Savage says twenty-
three of this name had graduated at N. E. col-
leges before 1835. Col. John Bradley was born in
Cheshire, Conn., in 1793. His parents were
Bradley and Susan Mathews. Their chil-
dren were John, Susan, Esther, and Roxana.
( ol. Bradley entered the military service of the
L'nited States during the war of 1812, and for
meritorious conduct was promoted to the rank
I if Captain in the regular army. He was for
.^ome time in command of the military force
>tationed at Fort Dearborn, Chicago. In 1837
he retired from the service, having previously
married Miss Sarah Brown, of Brownville, N.
Y., in which place he settled, engaged in busi-
ness, and acquired property. Upon the election of Hon. Wm. H. Seward as Oov-
ernor of New York, he was offered and accepted a position on his stafif, with the
rank of Colonel.
Rev. Dr. William Allen Fiske was graduated at the Episcopal Theological
Seminary in the City of New Y'ork, in 1849. On Sept. 22, 1852, he was married to
Susan Mathews Bradley, daughter of Col. John and Sarah Bradley, of Browns-
ville, N. Y. In Nov., 1849, he was appointed missionary to Theresa and Redwood,
Jeflferson county, New York, where he remained two years and three months,
built churches and gathered in congregations. In Jan., 1852, he was called to
the rectorship of St. Stephen's Church, New Hartford, N. Y. There he remained
two years and later obtained a parsonage for the church. In 1854 he was called
to Lyons, N. Y., where he remained five years. In 1859 he was called to Orace
Church, Cleveland, O. He was called to St. Paul's Church, Cincinnati, O., in the
winter of 1865-6. He built up this parish, until it was the largest in the diocese
of Ohio; but his health failed in 1874, and he then gave up the parish, and re-
tired for about a year to his farm in Indiana, near Rei. His health improved
considerably here, so that he was able, in 1875, to accept a call to the rectorship
of St. John's Church in Quincy, 111. In 1876 he became rector of St. John's
parish, Naperville, 111., where he remained for four years, increasing largely the
parish membership and doubling the size of the church edifice. While residing
here the Northwestern College conferred the degree of LL.D. on him. In 1881 he
was called to the rectorship of St. John's Church, Bangor, Me., where he remained

until 1886. He was now 61 years old, and he gave up the parish and went to
Boston, where he Hved for about a year, doing hght work in filling occasional pul-
pits. In 1887 he and his wife went to Brooklyn, to be near their children; and
for three years he assisted the bishop and archdeacon in missionary work among
the struggling parishes in the growing parts of the city. In 1890 he was called
as rector of St. Andrew's parish, Brooklyn; and though he was 65 years old, he
undertook the work, and pushed it ahead with extraordinary vigor. Not content
with merely enlarging the parish as it was, he determined, after he had made
the congregation too large for the edifice, to purchase land, and build a church
and chapel on a scale commensurate with the future which he foresaw to be
certain for that part of Brooklyn. He succeeded in his self-allotted task, aided in
every way by the devotion of his wife and his youngest son, John, and actually
bought the ground and superintended the designs for the church and chapel.
But he overtaxed his strength, and did not live to see the completion of the work
that crowned his latter days. He died on the 12th of March, 1894; died in the
harness, as he always wished to do, died in the very midst of his work, died in
the fullness of years; and the new St. Andrews Church is a lasting monument.
He lived a noble and useful life; his aims were always pure and lofty; his ideals
were exalted; he lived for others more than for himself, and he died for his
Master, whom he had so long and so devotedly served. In a publication, "The
Bishop's Address," in a lengthy obituary of Dr. Fiske, it is said: "Though in
declining health for some months, his death at last was a surprise to his family
and his ^people. It might be enough to say of him, in his somewhat secluded
ministry and in his young and struggling parish, that he was a good pastor and a
faithful preacher, and as such gave himself largely to the task of thoroughly
grounding his flock upon the principles of the church's faith and order. He
worked with a cheerful faith and undaunted courage which, under God, are al-
ways the sure pledges of ultimate triumph. Others will enter into his labors and
build on his foundations; but let us hope, it will be with an unfailing memory of
the debt of gratitude which St. Andrew's parish owes to its first rector." He d.

with seven years in New England, prevent him from
being at all narrow. He nevertheless remembers that he is an
Ohio man and will doubtless use this for all he is worth when
occasion arises. While in Bangor, Me., where he moved with
his father, in 1880, he studied law with Peregrine White an
Hon. Frederick M. Laughton, and was admitted to the bar
in 1884, and for two years practiced law there and argued a
case in appeal before the full bench in 1885, in Trainor vs. Mor-
rison, 78 Maine, 160, where the opposing counsel was an ex-
Governor of the State. Strange to say, he was beaten, but his
contention as to the powers of traveling salesmen has since
become recognized as the law. Becoming convinced that a
law school course was a proper one to fit a lawyer for his pro-
fession, he took the three years' course at the Boston Uni-
versity Law School in one year, and graduated among the
first ten in his class, receiving his degree magna cum laude in

the I\ew York bar, and acted as managing clerk for Hon Peter
B. Olney Messrs. Kelly & Mackae, Cravath & Houston and
Hays & Greenbaum. Since 1893 he has been connected with
the firm of Messrs. Evarts, Choate & Beaman, 52 Wall St. New
York City, and is the assistant of Hon. Charles C. Beaman
who headed the reform ticket in 1895 as candidate for Justice of
the Supreme Court of the State of New York. Mr. Fiske is
also attending to the legal wants of South Brooklyn, where he
resides. He always, since a lad, evinced a strong love for
music, and as a boy soprano won considerable attention. When
in Bangor he sang tenor in the quartette choir at his father's
cliurch, and was quite prominent in the councils of the Cecilia
Club, a local musical society. He studied the voice for three
years under J. C. Bartlett and Clarence A. Marshall, of Boston
and while at Law School sang at St. Paul's Church. Coming
to New \ork he sang for over a year in Trinity Church, and
afterwards held solo positions in Calvary Church, New York
and Trinity, Hoboken. His father's health commencing to fail
in the tall of 1893, he deemed it his duty to take charge of
the choir of St. Andrew's Church, Brooklyn, of which his
lather was rector, and otherwise sustain him in his work.
1 his move proved a very wise one, as the revival of the choir
invigorated the energies of the parish, and kept the work
going on during his father's
illness, so that at his death
the people of the church
united with his son in the
work of building a new
church edifice. Mr. Fiske is
a trustee of St. Andrew's
parish, and a delegate to the
diocesan convention, where
he is a member of the stand-
ing committee on the incor-
poration of new parishes.
He is treasurer of the local
Y. M. C. A., and represents
the Eighth Ward of Brook-
lyn in the councils of the
Citizen's Union, of Brook-
lyn, a non-partisan organiza-
tion. He is not married, but

iam, Symond), b. Troy, N. Y., Nov. i, 1828; m. Nov. 23, 1859, Amelia
Goodyear. Rev. Albert Augustus Fiske, third son of Allen and Eliza
Fiske, was born in Troy, N. Y. The youngest of the brothers, the first fif-
teen years of his life was spent with his father, a student most of that time in his
school, and fitted under his excellent training to enter upon an advanced collegiate
course at the age of 16. Such had been his early purpose, but overruled by what
was then deemed to be wiser counsels, he was persuajded to betake himself to the
more practical training of the printing ofifice, which he did, in the winter of 1844-5,
at Auburn, N. Y., in the office of the Northern Christian Advocate, an organ of the
M. E. Church, of extensive circulation. After serving his apprenticeship in this
establishment, in the fall of 1847 he returned to his native city, and soon afterward
commenced, in connection with his father, the publication of a weekly newspaper,
called the Family Journal. In the fall of 1848 his brother, David E., from Am-
herst, joined them, and proved a most etiticient ally. From this time onward, for
more than twelve years, the Family Journal prospered, both in means and influence,
recognized by its many tiiousands of readers, and by its contemporaries, as an
able, popular, and influential newspaper, which result was largely due to the
gifted pen of its principal editor, Allen Fiske, Esq. In 1854, David, and
shortly afterward his father, severally retired from the concern, and soon the
publication of "Fiske's Family Journal" was brought to a close. Albert A.
Fiske married Miss Amelia, the accomplished daugiiter of Rev. George Good-
year, of Temple, N. H., and in the summer of 1862 they removed to Chicago,
111., where shortly afterwards Mr. Fiske began the preparation and compilation
of materials for a genealogical work, which was finally completed and published
in 1867, entitled: "A History of the Family (ancestral and descendant), of Will-
iam Fiske, Sr., of Amherst, N. H." with brief notices of other branches springing
from the same stock. This was the first attempt -to publish a work on the Fiske
genealogy in this country, and though the details mostly concerned certain
branches descended from the Wenham Fiskes, yet so comprehensive was its view,
that it has probably served as the nucleus of this larger and more elaborate work*
In 1864-5 Mr. Fiske began his preparation for holy orders in the Protestant
Episcopal Church, and in 1869 he graduated from the Nashotan Theological
Seminary, Wisconsin. On Trinity Sunday of that year he was ordained to the
diaconate by Bishop Whitehouse, and in November following was called to the
rectorship of Zion Church. Oconomowoc, where he was advanced to the priest-
hood by Bishop Kemper, of saintly memor}-, in the spring of 1870. He remained
for several years there, and was greatly prospered in his work. In 1875 he re-
signed his charge tc give his invalid wife the benefit of a change of climate. In
1876 he returned to Chicago, and took missionary service for awhile under Bishop
McLaren. In Jan., 1877, he was called to Christ Church, Harvard, 111., where in
1881, he built a new and beautiful house of worship, and presented it to the dio-
cese all paid for. He continued in charge, serving the people most acceptably,
until Easter, 1886, when he was called to St. Paul's Church, Austin, 111., a suburb
of Chicago, where he remained about six years. In this field also he was signally
successful, the membership of the church increasing threefold, but his health fail-
ing, he resigned in the fall of 1892, in order to secure much needed rest. In Nov.,
1895, he was recalled to the church in Harvard, where he now resides, respected
and beloved by the people. Several of Mr. Fiske's sermons have been pub-
lished by request, and received flattering commendation from the Church Press.
Although serving continuously in the ministry for over twenty-five years, Mr.
Fiske has had but three parishes during that time, and is pleasantly remembered in
them all. A very valuable heirloom came into the possession of Rev. A.A.
Fiske. on the death of his uncle, David Fiske, Esq., of Amherst. It is an old
*The compiler, as stated in the introduction, expresses his appreciation of the valuable
assistance rendered by the work of Rev. A. A. Fiske. When his book was compiled it was in-
dfed a most difQcult task. But few town histories and genealogies had then been printed and
nearly everyone was diffident and indifferent as to their origin. A friend writing of Mr. Fiske
says: "It would be entirely just and proper to recognize in some fitting way the fact of obligation
Vt one who, as pioneer, had 'blazed the way' thro' the trackless jungle where reposed the
ashes of buried generations. The fathers took little pains to keep track of their kindred in
their migrations and ever widening groups of descent. It is only with a truer appreciation
of its value that an interest in genealogical matters has revived. Hence the difficulty in this
country of compiling a general family history. It is a big job, as he happened to know, for
'he spent the best part of two years at it and considerable money without pecuniary reward.
Doubtless what he did has been some help to you."

English clock, of large dimensions and superior workmanship, which undoubted-
ly belonged originally to the Wenham Fiskes, as far back as the beginning of the
last century (1700), as it is distinctly mentioned in testamentary documents signed
by Dea. Ebenezer Fiske, of date 1764, and described as his "old clock," which
came to him along with the homestead, from his father, Dea. William, whose will
was probated 1725. As Dea. William, of Wenham, was the sole legatee of Will-
iam the emigrant, it probably was bequeathed to him as part of his marriage
portion (1662). There can be no question as to the venerable age of this clock,
for its works are of chilled brass, harder than the hardest steel, and the process
of such rare alchemy became a lost art a long while ago. It is perfectly safe to
say that this clock is at least 150 years old, for in 1764 it was spoken of as an
old English timepiece; was willed at that date by Ebenezer Fiske to his son
William; was brought to Amherst from Wenham in 1771, and for ninety years
stood in the mansion of Hon. William Fiske, firmly bolted against the oaken
crossbeams. It is an excellent timepiece even now, and is greatly prized.
Rev. George Goodyear, of Temple, N. H., was a lineal descendant of Hon.
Stephen Goodyear, who came to this country in 1630, and was descended from an
ancient English family of that name, entitled to coat armor as appears by a royal
grant dated 1569. In the records of the Herald Ofhce, it is thus described:

ry during part of 1853, and also traveled
in Europe. Compelled by disease of the
eyes to abandon the idea of entering the
ministry, he refused several calls to take
a pastorate. He however, accepted the
professorship of rhetoric and English
literature in Beloit, Wis., College, to
wnich he had been appointed while
abroad and entered upon his duties Apr.,
1854, where he continued until 1859, hav-
ing previously been appointed to the

In 1887 he became president of the Chicago Theological Seminary, with which
he has been connected as professor and president for thirty-seven years. His
work entitled "Manual of Preaching," published in 1884, has reached a third edi-
tion, and is used as a text-book in several institutions. In 1891 he went as delegate
to the "International Congregational Council," which met in London in July of
that year, and also traveled extensively in Europe. As a student in college he
took the highest honors, being valedictorian of his class. As a scholar, writer
and preacher he enjoys an enviable reputation; res. 532 W. Adams St., Chicago,

age he came to Michigan with his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. James Fisk,
reaching Coldwater June 17, 1835. There he obtained such an education as the
home schools afforded, but his thirst for knowledge did not permit him to be con-
tent with this; his inquiring mind continued to improve as long as he lived. What
he read he remembered, and, being a man of studious habits, he soon became well
informed in all matters of general importance. In religious views Mr. Fisk was a
Presbyterian, and had been a life long and consistent member of that church. He
was at one time ruling elder and superintendent of its Sunday school. To be
constantly on the alert, seeking improvements, and then imparting to others the
valuable results of his investigation and experience, was a ruling habit of his life.

from Arnherst College in 1848, and from Andover Theological Seminary in 1851,
after which he returned to Amherst College as tutor for three years. He then
passed more than a year in extensive travels in Europe, Egypt, Syria and Turkey.
In 1857 he was installed pastor of the Congregational Church in Madison, Conn.,
and this relationship continued until his death. In 1862 he enlisted as private in
the Fourteenth Connecticut Volunteers, but received the commission of Second
Lieutenant in Company G before leaving Hartford in August. (The Fourteenth
Regiment Connecticut Volunteers served in the Second army corps to the close of
war. Mr. Fiske took with him a large number of young men from his parish.)
In December he was promoted to First Lieutenant, and in the following month to
Captain. During the spring and summer of 1863 he was Acting Assistant Inspector
General on the staffs of Gen. Carroll and Gen. Alexander Hayes, of the Third
Divison, Second Corps. During the battle of Chancellorsville, May 3, he was cap-
tured and taken to Libby Prison. In June he was exchanged and returned to camp.
(In September, at his own request, he again took command of Company G.) He
distinguished himself in several battles. He received a fatal wound in the battle
of the Wilderness, May 6, 1864, while at the head of his company, and died in
Fredericksburg on May 22. During the time he was abroad, and also while in the
army, he was a correspondent of the Springfield Republican under the nom de
plume of Dunn Browne, and the letters were afterward republished in the volumes
"Dunn Browne Abroad" and "Dunn Browne in the Army." He d. May 22, 1864;

from Amherst College in 1884, and from Hartford Theological
Seminary in 1887. Took a high position as a scholar in col-
lege, and won the fellowship in the seminary. By advice
of the faculty spent three years in the University of Berlin,
studying oriental languages, specially Arabic. Was ready to
return and enter upon a professorship at Hartford when his
health, which by constant study had been seriously impaired,
suddenly failed, and he died at the age of 29. As a lad he was
deeply interested in ornithology. While in college he had
charge of the ornithological collection, arranging and classi-
fying it, and adding sixty-seven varieties to the number. Many
of his drawings of birds and eggs were published by the Smith-
sonian Institute, and were helpful in settling some disputed
points in New England ornithology. While in the seminary
he made a Hebrew vocabulary of the Psalms. His proficiency
in Arabic was very marked, and he left extensive translations
from the literature of that people. He was interesting and in-
structive as a preacher, but important offered pulpits failed to
lure him from his chosen course. Through native gifts and high
attainments a promising career was open before him. "Fleb-
ilis multis occidit," and by a wide circle his death was re-
garded as a serious loss to American scholarship. "He was an
enthusiast in Christian work as in study. He was an artist
in soul, as well as with pencil, pen, and brush; a student of
architecture, a keen naturalist, proficient especially in ornithol-
ogy. In the vacations of his theological course, he had won an en-
viable reputation as writer, speaker and preacher, and important
pulpits had been open for his pastorial charge. He turned,

however, from all such offers, in his zeal for the highest
Christian scholarship. The Hebrew Bible, with all the Orien-
talism in customs, language, literature, and monuments, which
should interpret and illustrate it, was his chosen field. By
special advanced studies in the seminary and by his subsequent
years of work abroad he had become signally equipped for
these lines of instruction."

afterward invited to go as Government Commissioner to an International Confer-
ence in London, of the departments of education of the various governments of
Europe and the United States, and to examine and reoort on the European Na-
tional Educational systems, and their working. But, as he had only lately accepted
a call to the church at Rochester and as it was anxious for his immediate service
he was constrained to decline so inviting an appointment. He has been too busy

shock he sustained by being thrown from his carriage in a runaway accident. Mr.
Fiske accompanied by his daughter started to drive from their home to Greenfield.
The horses were a pair of lively colts which had given some trouble before. Mr.
Fiske was driving. When near the Col. Wells' place the colts became frightened
and dashed down the hill at a lively pace. Mr. Fiske was thrown out but picked
himself up apparently uninjured and followed the team. His daughter pluckily
took the reins and after going some distance succeeded in reining the frightened
animals into an open lot. She was thrown out and the horses stopped. Mr.
Fiske came up and saw his daughter and then fell to the ground, dying almost in-
stantly. The young woman was not seriously injured. Dr. F. J. Canedy, of Shel-

Fiske, son of Rev. Elisha and Margaret Shepard Fiske, was born in Wrentham,
Mass., Apr. 15, 1816; fitted at Day's Academy in his native town at so early an age
that it was not deemed advisable for him to enter college then, so he taught school
for a year or so and then entered Amherst College from which he graduated in 1836
and received his A. M. in 1837, after which, as his health did not then permit of
his taking a theological course, he at once engaged in teaching, first as assistant in
Washington Institute, New York City, then in Norwalk, Conn., next as principal
of ]\Ionson (Mass.) Academy, 1833-34, and later in Fall River, Mass. While in
Fall River his wife died and he then decided to enter the ministry in accordance
with his original plan, and much to the regret of his patrons in Fall River he en-
tered Yale Theological Seminary, taking the full course from 1847 to 1850, when
he entered upon the work of the ministry, being ordained pastor of the Congrega-
tional Church of Ashburnham, Mass., Dec. 30, 185 1, where he remained until Apr.
17, 1854, when he resigned. For about three years, from November 16, 1854, he
was pastor of the Congregational Church in East Marshfield, after which at the
solicitation of friends he resumed his former occupation of teaching, first as prin-
cipal of the high school at Clinton, Mass., and for the next eight years as princi-
pal of a boys' boarding school in Newton, Mass., which grew in numbers and
popularity under his care. In 1865 on account of a severe illness his physician
insisted upon his leaving his school and strongly recommended his moving at once
to a warmer climate, so that from 1865 to 1868 he was Superintendent of Education
for the State of North Carolina under the Freedmen's Bureau, receiving his appoint-
ment from Gen. O. P. Howard. Having now regained his health he returned to
Massachusetts, where he was for a short time pastor of the church in Raynham,
Mass. The remainder of his life was spent in the service of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church, being ordained as deacon on June 25, 1870, and as priest on Nov. 5
of the same year. From July, 1870, to May, 1873, he was rector of Trinity Church,
Van Deusenville, Mass.; from May, 1873, to Sept., 1876, rector of St. Paul's Church,
Brookfield, Conn.; from Sept., 1876, until his death rector of Grace Church, North
Attleboro, Mass., which joins his native town. He died of nervous prostration

induced by overwork in his efforts to relieve his parish from a load of pecuniary
indebtedness, but not until he had raised the last dollar. His bishop (Paddock),
who officiated at his funeral, said of him in his annual address to the convention of
1879, as follows: "In the rectory that with the church at its side crowns the little
knoll of an ample lot in a pretty villag* of Bristol County, one of our best rural
pastors lay down to die soon after he had given God thanks for the good example
of dear Dr. Wells. This man coming to his parish two years before, had found the
wise and far-sighted work of his predecessor burdened with such honest, but par-
tially unexpected indebtedness as changed times had brought upon many of the
parishes all over the land. The time came last autumn when about $2,000 of this
indebtedness must be raised to avert disaster. He did not create the obligation;
but it was Christ's cross that lay athwart his path, to remove it. First letting it
cost himself more, perhaps, than he would expect of any one else, he then roused the
hearts of all, even to the children, of his ffock and they responded nobly. Then
strengthened as he supposed in his gentleness and modesty, by a statement and
commendation from his bishop, he went from door to door in Boston, to let oth-
ers bear the burden with him, and so fulfill the law of Christ. From a few he
received refusals which pained him; from a few, good advice against parishes get-
ting into debt; from others modest offerings toward his longed-for getting out
of debt and saving a valuable church property. Twice he broke in his weary
rounds; but at last he succeeded and went home with a church property saved
and his life given for it." After a few weeks of exhaustion and suffering the Rev.
Frederic Augustus Fiske, rector of Grace Church, North Attleboro, died Dec.
15, 1878, and was buried by one and other brethren amidst a town full of
mourners. He was a man of manly and strong piety, clear and happy in his
convictions and of willing and unwearying labor. His wife and son Frederic
Elisha Fiske survive him. He d. Dec. 15, 1878; res. New Haven, Conn.; Ashburn-

uel, William, John, William, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b. Upton,
Mass., Jan. 23, 1817; m. there June 12, 1838, Lydia C. Wood. Mr. Fisk was born
at Upton, j\Iass., and received a common school education. At the age of six-
teen he entered upon his business career by accepting a clerkship. He married
Lydia C. Wood, and soon after embarked in business for himself. In 1853 Mr.
Fisk came to Chicago, and with B. M. Fisk and J. E. L. Eraser opened the first
millinery house in Chicago on Wells St., between Lake and South Water, under
the now familiar firm name of D. B. Fisk & Co. The business continued to
grow through Mr. Fisk's energy, until it became the largest millinery establish-
ment in the world. Mr. Fisk had never known a sick day until about three
weeks before his death when he caught a bad cold, which developed into bron-
chitis. He was not, however, confined to his home. Nothing serious was antici-
pated imtil a short time before he died when a decided change for the worse oc-
curred. He became unconscious and so remained until death came. Mr. Fisk
was a lover of outdoor sports, and a member of the Chicago, Calumet and Wash-
ington Park Clubs, yet he was in no sense a club man, nor was he what is known
as a societ}^ man. He was devoted to his home, and there were very few pleas-
ures that could draw him away from his fireside. The remains were taken from
the family residence, 2100 Calumet Ave., to Rosehill, for burial. None but the
family and a few intimate friends were present. The funeral services were held
at the residence. Rev. Thomas C. Hall, pastor of the 41st Street Presbyterian
Church, officiating. The members of the old Tippecanoe Club were present. He

was born. She came north in 1859 with her baby son, and the second child was
born in Upton. His store was seized by the Confederate army and he was
forced into the ranks as a surgeon; was captured by the Federal army in Red
River, and was in prison some time; finally exchanged, and came north in 1865;
lived in Upton about one year; then he moved to Springfield, where he went
into the publishing business (subscription books), D. B. Fisk & Co. In a few
years went into the grocery business on North Main St., for several years, then
took in a partner who took him in and did him up. In 1874 went to Worcester
and took charge of a drug store, oldest in the city; remained there until 1891,
when, owing to ill health and change in firm, he resigned, and did nothing until
1895, now running drug store in Worcester; res. 351 Park Ave., Worcester, Mass.

1886. He studied law, but after a long and
serious illness abandoned the profession
and entered the itinerant ministry in 1818,
when he was licensed as a local preacher
in the Methodist Episcopal Church. He
took high rank as a pulpit orator, was pas-
tor for two years in Craftsbury, Vt., and in
1819. removed to Charlestown, Mass. At
tlie conference of 1820 he was admitted into
full membership, ordained as a deacon in
1822, and from 1823 till 1827 was presiding
elder of the Vermont district, which then
comprised the whole of Vermont east of the
Green Mountains. He was placed upon the
superannuated list, but w^as requested, in so
far as health would allow, to act as agent
for Newmarket Academy, at that time the
only Methodist institution in New England,
dress of welcome to Lafayette in 1824. He
was also a delegate to the general con-
ference in that year, and was chosen to
write the address to the British conference.
He was chaplain of the Vermont Legislature
in 1826, and was one of the founders and
orincipal of the Wesleyan Academy in Wil-
While here he was chosen to make the ad-
braham, Mass., 1826-31, and a delegate to
the general conference of 1828, when he
was elected bishop of the Canada conference but declined. In 1829 he
also refused the presidency of La Grange College, Alabama, and a pro-
fessorship in the University of Alabama. In 1830 he was chosen first president of
the Wesleyan University, in whose organization he had materially aided. The
duties of that ofifice were entered upon in 1831 ; the institution under his direction
became the most influential of any in the Methodist denomination in America.
At the general conference in 1832 his appeals in behalf of Indian missions resulted
in the organization of the Oregon mission, and he was at this time instrumental
in founding Williamstown Academy. For years he was useful to educational in-
terests at large by recommending or furnishing professors and presidents to the
rapidly multiplying colleges of the far west. In search of health, he passed the
winter of 1835-6 in Italy, and the summer of 1836 in England, when he also repre-
sented the M. E. Church of the Wesleyan conference as a delegate. He was
elected bishop of that church in 1836, but declined. In 1839 he became a member

of the board of education of Connecticut. He was said to be unsurpassed in elo-
quence and fervor as a preacher, and was often compared to Fenelon, being en-
dowed with Hke moral and mental traits. The degree of D. D. was conferred
on him by Augusta College, Kentucky, in 1829, and LL. D. by Brown in 1835. His
published works are: "Inaugural Address" (New York, 1831); "Calvinistic Contro-
versy" (1837); "Travels in Europe" (1838); "Sermons and Lectures on Universal-
ism: Reply to Pierpont on the Atonement, and other Theological and Educa-
tional Works and Sermons." His account of his Europ'ean travels had a wide cir-
culation and was greatly admired. His "Life and Writings" were published by

whose life and character entitle them to record on the pages of history, was the late
Orin M. Fisk, Esq., who during his life deserved!}' held a prominent position in
the community in which he lived. He was born in De Kalb, N. Y., Apr. 25,- 1807,
and after a brief life of usefulness died at his home in De Kalb, Jan. 20, 1857, much
lamented by kindred and friends, he was a man of more than ordinary ability in
all the vocations of life, and could never say no to the needy and destitute. His
adhesions to the principles of honor were so strong that nothing could break them,
and money would not tempt him to do a wrong act. In early life he devoted con-
siderable time to teaching and bore the enviable reputation of being one of the
finest penman in St. Lawrence county, consequently under the earnest solicitations
of the various school districts of De Kalb he gave instructions which were long
cherished by those who were so fortunate as to come under his tuition. In later
years he was successful in doing business as a merchant in De Kalb, as one of the
firm of Fisk & Slosson; still later he opened a store at Cooper's Falls. At the or-
ganization of the De Kalb works at this place he was chosen as its head man-
ager, investing $10,000 of his capital towards a grist mill, which was said to be
one of the finest in the county, but was subsequently burned down some years
after his death. He was for a long period agent for several of the original pro-
prietors of land in St. Lawrence county, among which were Frederic De Peyster
and W. C. H. Wadell, of New York Cit3^ In politics he was formerly a member
of the Whig party, but joined the Republican organization on its formation. He
held the office of Justice of the Peace for many years, and in 1847 was elected
supervisor of the town of De Kalb, which office he held till his death, in 1857.
It is needless to add any enconium to Orin M. Fisk's reputation as a man
and worthy citizen, as the foregoing record amply testifies to his worth, and the
estimation in which he was held by his fellow citizens. Although not a member
of any church, he exhibited a Christian principle in all his dealings, and many
can testify to the timely aid received from his hands in their direst extremity.

gloomiest hour of its struggle for an existence. Gallantly
he shared its fortunes under Sherman and other Gen-
erals at Vicksburg, Memphis and Cairo. Possessing a deli-
cate constitution, he soon fell a victim to that relent-
less scourge, chronic diarrhoea. He lingered for many months,
subject to sanitary treatment, till at length an honorable dis-
charge relieved him from the stern duties of military life.
Buoyed up by his indomitable will, though physically incapaci-
tated to endure the fatigue of travel, he soon reached the home

In a conspicuous box at the
Metropolitan Opera House, on
Monday night. May 14, as the
great Prohibition rally there
drew near its close, a man sat
down and looked out with
swift interest upon that vast as-
semblage. It was near eleven
o'clock, and he had just come
from a down-town appoint-
ment so binding he could not
sooner get release. At the wide
street entrance only some
stragglers appeared, and he
had sought the special box assigned him, half believing that because of storm and
small attendance the meeting had early broken up, and he should find but vacancy
and darkness. When he entered and took his seat, his beaming blue eyes
ranged over the stage below him, packed with well-known Prohibitionists, and
thence over the spacious auditorium facing them, crowded in all its five great
galleries with men and women whose enthusiasm was electric. Scores of people
near by observed this man, with whose form they had grown familiar. The atten-
tion of hundreds more was speedily drawn to him. And all whose gaze turned
that way beheld a gentleman of portly build, with rather short gray beard, partly
veiling a face roundish in outline, rising to a forehead high and intellectual. The
rather rotund figure and the genial countenance were suggestive of comfortable
living, little care and happy temperament. From the gray whiskers, and the bald
crown above them, one might have guessed this gentleman past middle life, though
surely not yet old.
Who was he? The crowd soon told his name. When Professor Dickie's clear,
masterful voice rang out its final word, with one mighty volume of sound the shout
went up for "Fisk!" "Fisk!" The man in the box was wanted upon the platform.
These many years, indeed, he has been wanted there, at any gathering of which
he might form part, whatever its occasion or character. His wonderful aptness
of extempore address, his choice command of language, his unfailing good humor,
and his magnetic charm, have made him a general favorite in ecclesiastical bodies,
in party gatherings, and in commercial assemblies, whenever speech-making came
in order.
There is no man in all our country more popular as an ofif-hand talker than
Gen. Fisk; no man, it may be added, whose talking gifts have been tested in

more various ways, or on wider fields. He could speak to his newly recruited
regiment of soldiers in St. Louis with such persuasiveness that they agreed he
should do all their swearing, well aware he would not swear a word. In camp,
at the front, he could lead a prayer meeting with tender exhortation and fervent
appeal. When reconstruction days came on he could gather thousands, white
and black, upon some Southern plantation, and win them to ready acceptance
of the great change from slavery to freedom. And in these later years, South and
North, at the general conference of his church, as a fraternal delegate with
Southern brethren, in the great convention at Pittsburg which nominated St. John,
at some great business banquet where capital massed itself, or where old army
comrades met in annual reunion — oftener than almost any other American he
has been called to say the word most fitting, to lend the final grace of flowing
rhetoric and felicitous quotation. Upon this night of particular reference, in the
great opera house of this great metropolis, it was not so much that another
speech was wanted — for four speeches had been heard already — as that the vast
audience desired to recognize and salute, in this genial man of gracious manner and
warm heart, the next probable standard bearer of Prohibition — the almost inevit-
able nominee for President by the Prohibition party. And their greeting was such
as to honor and exalt the most princely. Under its inspiration thousands of pulses
leaped aflame and glowed with sudden fire. It was magnificent. It was thrilling.
Could she have lived to see it, how glad and proud one woman must have beenl
Her name was Lydia Aldrich when a girl in Rhode Island; she was the wife of
Capt. Benjamin Fisk when on the 8th of December, 1828, she gave to the world a
boy they christened Clinton Bowen. That was in the little hamlet known a^ Griggs-
ville, town of York, Livingston County, N. Y. Clinton Bowen was the fifth male
child born to this pair of young Puritans since they had settled in the Genesee
Valley. Half his patronymic came from New York's "Canal Governor," De Witt
Clinton; the other half was from the mother's family tree. It was a humble home
wherein the boy saw daylight first, but in a region beautiful and fertile, though
sparsely peopled then. His father was a man of local reputation, and getting
on fairly well for one in so new a country. He was a blacksmith, wagon-maker,
and miscellaneous manufacturer, for quite an area round about. He trained with
the military, as was natural, for his grandfather had been under Washington.
And sometimes, on general training days, as was also natural, he took a little
stronger drink than his son ever takes, for even a deacon could do it then and
not lose religious caste. When his fifth and youngest boy was less than two years
old, Capt. Fisk removed to Michigan. Better opportunities were there to be
found, in his opinion, for building the foijune his growing family must need. He
turned some modest savings into timber land in the wilderness county of Lenawee,
bought out a mechanic who had located five mile north of Tecumseh, on the river
Raisin, and there, surrounded by not unfriendly Pottawattomie Indians, set about
fortune-making. The new place thus established he called Clinton, in honor of the
Governor left behind and the baby brought along. Two years later, poisoned with
the malaria then so pervading that whole region, he sickened and died, leaving his
wife Lydia with yet another babe to care for, and at the mercy of conditions most
unkind. Mistress Lydia did the best she could for her six fatherless boys and
with her untilled lands. Losses came, lands went, times grew hard. One by one
the lads were put out to earn their own support, and Clinton's turn to go came at
last. He was then but 9 years old, yet eager to help his mother and to make a
chance for himself. When Farmer Wright offered a horse, a saddle, a bridle, two
suits of clothes, one hundred dollars, and three months of "schooling" every year,
if he would serve him till 21. Clinton saw his chance. To him the "schooling"
was powerful inducement. He hungered for knowledge, young as he then was.
He left mother and home even cheerfully, and wondered why his mother so often
put her apron to her eyes after he bade her good-bye, as he rode away. He lived
with Deacon Wright between two and three years, busied in the many ways a
chore-boy can be occupied on the farm. But he grew ambitious for wider things.
He craved better chances still. By hook and crook (though he hooked none of
them) he had obtained a few books, and read them stretched out upon the broad
hearthstone before a huge fireplace. There he had learned to write— that hand-
some back-hand script his correspondents know so well— using the hearthstone for a
copy-book; and on this novel slate he had wrought out the problems Daboll gave.
Verily, "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing." It made this young lad rest-
352 FISKE GENEALOGY.
less, dissatisfied and eager. Then his younger brother died, and the widowed
mother grew so lonesome that she secured his release from the contract binding
him out, and Clinton returned to her, sure the broader chances which he hungered
for were waiting not far ahead.
We have not the space here to detail his varied struggles to secure an educa-
tion during the next ten years. They form a long and interesting chapter
in the full biography which has been written. He Had pluck, push and persever-
ance. Chiefly he was self-taught. He earned his own text-books and studied
them in his own way much of the time. As he had secured his first coveted volume
— a mutilated Shakespeare — by hoeing corn for a neighbor, so he bought a Latin
grammar by special effort and sacrifice. He caught a coon, like many another
lad of twelve, but hoping, as few lads would, to realize upon him for educational
ends. By patient applications he made the coon expert at many things, and came
to love him as a boy might. Then he walked with his pet to Jackson, a half-day's
journey, and sold him as a trick animal to the circus which exhibited there, that
"Anthon's Latin Lessons" might be his. So he lost the pet he loved, but gained
the book he coveted. It was not easy to study Latin alone, unaided. But at night,
in front of the fireplace, and by day while a-field, with the help of written slips
prepared for such field service the night before, he plodded on through nouns and
verbs, declensions and conjugations. The Latin dipthong troubled him as to pro-
nunciation, but his pluck conquered it. Nobody near him knew a Latin word,
but by chance he learned of another boy studying the language who was to be at
a camp-meeting ten miles distant. To meet that boy he walked the twenty miles
of that round trip, and he fairly hugged himself the whole way home because of
his success in pumping the boy dry of Latin information without telling how little
he really knew himself. When he was 13 years old his mother married William
Smith, a well-to-do farmer living at Spring Arbor, in Jackson county, and for
awhile he had better advantages, which faithfully he improved. His stepfather
liked him, and wished him to have the most liberal college education. All the
plans were laid for him to enter Wesleyan Seminary at Albion, in preparation
for Michigan Central College, now at Hinsdale, when Mr. Smith died. Again his
dream of fine opportunities was broken, but again he set manfully about making
the best of things. His twice-widowed mother removed to Albion, where and
near where Clinton studied and labored and taught. He achieved first place in
Latin and Greek, and, spite of many obstacles, was going forward well toward
graduation there, when utter disaster befell him on this line. Hard study by night,
and the intense heat of firelight, by which, as a boy, so much study had been
done, bore fruit in disease of the eyes, so acute and continued that study became
impossible, and with keen, lasting regret, he abandoned his fondest hope.
At Albion he met Miss Jeanette A. Crippen and her brother, fellow-students,
iind after college dreams were over he took up mercantile business with Miss
Crippen's father and brother at Coldwater. In 1850 he married Miss Crippen,
whose bright black eyes had fascinated him in recitation hours, and so perfected
a partnership which brought him compensation for loss of college honors. Mr.
Crippen was the leading merchant and banker of that region, and the firm of
Crippen & Fisk kept and increased the commercial standing and enterprise of L. D.
Crippen & Co. Clinton B. Fisk's adaptability, goodfellowship and swift business
sagacity came into full play. He grew prosperous rapidly, and was known through
all that country round. Success attended every step he took. He mingled in or
led every social and religious movement. He bought a farm near Coldwater
and made it the premium farm of that county. He was versatile, far-sighted, for-^
tunate. Then came the financial crash of 1857. Banks went down on every hand.
Business firms failed everywhere. Creditors could not pay. Loans were not
collected. Friends advised him to suspend and so protect himself; but Mr. Fisk
would not. His bank paid dollar for dollar to the end. But when the end came,
though he had some money left, he was without health. That year of constant
overwork and terrible strain had broken his hardy constitution and bankrupted his
nervous resources. He lay by some months ensuing, and in 1858 took up
residence in St. Louis, as western financial agent of the Etna Insurance Company.
For a year more he traveled widely the whole length and breadth of the Mississippi
Valley and contiguous States. He made broad acquaintance with men. from
Abraham Lincoln at his home in Illinois to the humblest planter on a Mississippi
bottom. Health came back. New opportunities for usefulness opened before

him. He was growing ripe for the richest work a patriot could do. The business
men of St. Louis knew and admired him. In the church life there he was a vital
force. With i860 came mutterings of war. Mr. Fisk knew the South and the
North. He foresaw conflict and helped make ready for it. He enlisted as a
private for three months, and helped capture a camp secretly formed outside the
city. The Merchants' Exchange, of vast commercial influence, grew doubtful
for the Union and was likely to cast all its weight upon the disunion side. He
called a meeting of seceders from the Exchange and organized a Union rival to it
which swallowed the old organization completely. He spoke, he wrote, he worked
for the cause of right. By birth a Puritan and an Abolitionist, he could do no
less. Even as a boy he had been with the Abolition army in politics, small as
it was. In 1840 the boys all round him were Whigs, and carried their banner
"for Tippecanoe and Tyler, too;" but he raised a solitary flag for Birney and Mor-
ris, and bore it to victory. To victory, because he had to fight for the privilege
to carry it at all, and won his first conflict in life on that very issue. It wasn't much
of a flag — three-fourths of a yard of white cotton cloth, bought with the sale of
molasses candy, painted with axle grease, and affixed to a broomstick — not much
of a flag, but dear to the boy whose ingenuity devised and whose patriotism bore
it. A little dearer than ever, may be, after his mother had spanked him for spoil-
ing her broom. In July of 1862, at President Lincoln's request, he set about re-
cruiting a regiment. Back of him loyally stood the Union Merchants' Exchange,
with money to assist. September saw it mustered in and at the from. Then he re-
cruited a brigade, and was commisisoned Brigadier-General, Nov. 24, 1862. One
month later he proceeded with his full command to Helena, Ark., and until June,
1863, he was on duty in the Department of the Tennessee, where Grant was seeking
to capture Vicksburg. After that his service was continuously in Missouri till the
war closed. He was some months in command of all southeast Missouri, with
headquarters at Pilot Knob, and for a time had charge of certain very lawless north-
western counties, which he made orderly and inhabitable. Later he commanded
the District of St. Louis, comprising all the territory before in separate districts.
When Sterling Price attacked the State capital. General Fisk was ordered to pro-
tect it, and met the emergency with cool tact and judgment. The forces of Price
were led by Marmaduke and Shelby, and commanded in person by Price. General
Fisk had only a handful of troops, but, by strategy, he multiplied them to the ears
of Price, and raised such defenses as gave color to these fictitious reports. The first
assault was met gallantly, and Price retreated with his large force. Fisk ordered
a pursuit and Shelby and Marmaduke were captured; the capital was saved. In
February, 1865, he was made Major-General of the Missouri militia, and one month
later Andrew Johnson commissioned him Major-General by brevet "for faithful
and meritorious services during the war." In May that year he was assigned to
special duty as Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau, in which im-
portant and delicate capacity he served till September, 1866. The entire States of
Kentucky and Tennessee, and parts of Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas were
under his jurisdiction. Through all that once rich territory devastation reigned.
The negroes, freed, were largely unwilling to work, and their notions of what
they should have and should do, were extravagant, often absurd. To restore confi-
dence between white and black, to readjust the relations of society, and to bring
about that industrial status which was imperative, was the task General Fisk took
up. He gave it the best work in his power. Mild in his methods, calm always
in judgment, decisive as to conclusions, judicial in mental habit, he was at once
in his own person a court of just appeal, and a commission to execute. He won
common respect. Going up and down the region under his command, he in-
vited before him the former master and slave, set forth to their mutual under-
standing the law governing both, and the whole facts relating to their mutual
interest. He made each his friend. More than any other one man, it is safe to
say. he made possible the rehabilitation of Southern fields, and the sure beginning
of a better future. Out of this work grew, naturally, the institution of learning
for colored youth, known now as Fisk University, at Nashville. General Fisk early
saw the need of such liberal helps for the Freedmen, and his influence has been
constant in their behalf. Throughout the South today his name is held in reverence
among the blacks, and is mentioned in terms of candid respect and confidence by
the Vv'hites. General Fisk resigned from the army in the fall of 1866, after over four
years' unremitting service, and ?ince then has been busily occupied with railroad.

banking and ecclesiastical affairs. For eight years he was treasurer of the Missouri
and Pacific Railroad; since 1879 he has resided in New Jersey, with headquarters
in New York. In Missouri he declined all political honors when urged upon him.
In 1884 he came out from the Republican party, whose great leaders — Lincoln,
Grant, Greeley, and others — had been his intimate friends, and supported St. John.
Two years ago he consented, as a matter of duty and -sacrifice, to lead the Prohibi-
tion campaign in New Jersey, and as candidate for Governor polled about 20,000
votes — a three-fold increase of the vote previously cast. In that campaign he made
one hundred and twenty-five engagements to speak, filled them all, and was never
five minutes late. To meet these he traveled five thousand miles. Scrupulous of
his every duty, considerate of all men, the soul of personal honor, sensitive as a
woman, Clinton B. Fisk shrinks from political warfare, and protests against his
preferment as a political leader. The most conspicuous layman in the Methodist
Church, to which, as a boy of 10, he gave himself, he gives to religious and de-
nominational progress his chief concern; but he sees how closely the church of
God is related to this question of the ages, and his whole heart is alive, his entire
nature consecrated, to the fight now up for settlement along political lines.
He will refuse no clear call of duty, whatever to him the cost
Gen. Fisk actively aided, as stated above, in establishing Fisk University, Nash-
ville, Tenn., in 1865, and it was named for him. He had been identified with its
financial and educational interests, and was president of its board of trustees. He
was also a trustee of Dickinson College, of Drew Theological Seminary, and also
of Albion College, Michigan. He was trustee of the American Missionary Asso-
ciation, and also a member of the book committee of the M. E. Church. He ren-
dered conspicuous service in Methodism in his efforts toward a reunion of the
Northern and Southern branches of the church. He was also identified with the
temperance movement. From 1874 to his death he was president of the board of
Indian commissioners. He was the Prohibition nominee for President of the
United States at one time. He d. July 9, 1890; res. New York. N. Y.

came to Michigan at the same time his parents and brothers came from New
York. He was eight years of age. He lived with his mother until after his
father died, then he went to live with a man by the name of Dennis Lancaster for
a couple of years. He lived in Clinton after that and learned the mason's trade.
He worked at that for several years, then clerked in a dry goods store for Snow
& Kies for some time. Afterward he went into the speculating business and was
quite successful. He retired from business about fifteen years ago. His second
wife died eight years ago, and since then he lived in Iowa with his step-children,
until the past few years he has lived with his daughter Grace in Clinton. He is

subject of this sketch was educated in the Fall River schools, which are most
excellent, finishing with a six years' course in the high school. At i8 years of age
he entered the Massasoit bank in Fall River as clerk; was in the banking business for
eighteen years, the last ten of which he was cashier of the Fall River National bank.
Having acquired quite a little property and being tired of the routine of bank life,
he improved the opportunity which was opened by the great fire of 1872 in Boston,
to go into the firm with which he is now connected, North, Fiske & Co., Mrs.
North having lost largely by the fire and needing capital. Roxbury (suburb and
part of Boston) has been his home ever since coming to Boston in Feb., 1873.
He has tried to exert a good influence in a quiet way, and lead an upright, honest
life. He has held many offices in the Congregational Church, deacon, superin-
tendent of Sunday school, etc. He has had ups and downs in business for the last
twenty j^ears, but has enough to live on comfortably if spared to old age; res. 50

His parents were Quakers and while he was quite young emigrated west, settling
in Centreville, Montgomery County, Ohio, where he lived the remainder of his
life. His father was the village blacksmith as well as farmer. Nathan received a
liberal education for the times, learned his father's trade but took to farming after
his marriage in 1828 to Rebecca Whitehill Cowan. He was frequently elected or
appointed to local office by his neighbors and friends, who held him in high
esteem. He was one who had a happy faculty of looking on the bright side of
passing events and was charitable to a fault. The following incident was charac-
teristic: Hearing a noise at the corn crib one night, he went out and found a
ne'er-do-well neighbor helping himself from the crib. Watching him until at least
two bushels were in the sack, he stepped up and said, "I guess that is as much
as you can carry," and regardless of the plea of the pilferer, who wished to empty
the sack, made him tie it up and take it home. He d. Nov. 15, 1863; res. Cen-

In 1824 he moved to Cincinnati, O. When he went there he engaged in the
grocery business, but as he was not busy all the time, he put in his spare time at

making in David Powell's machine shops; soon afterwards he was transferred
to the construction of steam engines department. For several years he was fore-
man of the shop. His son, Eli Cooley, was born there. In 1834 he was burned

pants left after the fire. In 1835 he moved to Havana, 111. He lived there two

Calvin Fisk, born at Stafford, Conn., Hall district, educated at Monson Academy,
Mass.; married Thanksgiving, 1829, to Nancy Ann Young. He was a surveyor and
civil engineer, also deputy sheriff for several terms. He lived on a farm on
the street in his native town. At the time of the California gold fever he went West
via Charges, Panama, and was in Nevada City and California for about three
years, until the time of his death, Jan. 8, 1853. He left a widow and five sons.

coln, Mass., Mar. 24, 1830; m. N. Y. City, Aug. 24, 1858, Mary Amanda Greenwood,
b. Dec. 12, 1832. Of excellent ancestry, Mr. Cornelius Fiske was born at Lincoln,
Mass., completed his preparatory studies at the Lawrence Academy, Groton, Mass.,
and at the Phillips Exeter Academy, entered Harvard College, and was graduated
in the class of 1853. Among his classmates were President Charles W. Eliot, John
Quincy Adams, John Davis Washburn, Justin Winsor, and others well known to
the public. He studied law in Boston, and later in New York City, in the office
of Hon. Erastus C. Benedict (the then leading admiralty lawyer in the United
States), of the firm of Benedict, Burr & Benedict, who, together with Beebe,
Dean & Donohue, were the leading admiralty lawyers in New York. After
leaving the office of Benedict. Burr & Benedict, Mr. Fiske took an office on his
own account, and commenced practice in the United States District and Circuit
Court, and acquired a large practice in all the courts of New York. Among
his clients were many of the leading merchants. For eighteen years he was at-
torney and counsel to Ball, Black & Co., as long as they were in business, the
leading merchants in watches, jewelry and gas fixtures, occupying the place in the
mercantile world which Tiffany & Co. now occupies; also to the leading dry
goods houses for many years, such as A. T. Stewart & Co., Strang, Adriance &
Co., Arnold, Constable & Co., and several silk firms and sugar houses. With this
mercantile practice, Mr. Fiske also represents several corporations and is entrusted
with the investments of large sums of money upon real estate, and in other first-
class ways. It is said that he has never lost a case of which he had the man-
agement, except one; in which latter case his client reports that Mr. Fiske strongly
advised, not only that the case was extremely doubtful, but that he would lose the
case and costs, and expenses. Mr. Fiske stands high in the profession, and is uni-
versally respected. Res. New York Citv: add. 120 Broadway.

the old homestead and carried on farming until about the year 1859. At that time he
sold his farm to his brother-in-law, Mr. Elijah Brown, and removed to the center
of the town, where for a time he was engaged in the stock business. Later he was
engaged in the grain and produce business for several years. The last seven or
eight years of his life he was connected in various ways with the Waltham Water
Works. He served five years as water commissioner, being chairman of the
board at the time of his death. "The Waltham Water Commissioners in making

in the death of Mr. Calvin Fiske, the Chairman of the Board. His late associates

Haydn Society. He was what one would call an old-fashioned man, conscientious
and very religious. He never used tobacco or intoxicating liquors and all his habits
were of the simplest. He had seven children by his first wife (Susan HurdJ, all
boys; two children (both girls) by second marriage to Sarah Huntress. He died
in 1863 of softening of the brain. He was for a long time second lieutenant of the

2151. HON. LUKE FISKE (Elijah, Samuel, Samuel. William, John, Na-

tham, Mass., Feb. 6, 1794; m. there Nov. 23, 1817, Susanna Sweetzer Piper, of Bos-
ton, b. Sept. 25, 1796; d. Apr. 30, 1876. Luke Fiske was a remarkable man and one
respected and talked about by the people of Waltham while living and his loss was
much felt when he died. He was spoken of as one of the intelligent and distinguished
men of Middlesex County. He was popular. Broad paths to distinction and emi-
nence lay open before him. were thrown open to him, and smoothed for his foot-
steps, onward and upward, and few knew why he never took full advantage of
them. Luke Fiske might have been one of the great men of the country— a Sen-
ator of the United States— had he but stepped forward and used the means and ad-
vantages that absolutely stood begging at his side, and wide open for him. Much
reliance was placed on his judgment and opinions. During his life he was com-
missioned to carry out many public measures, but before he acted, every measure
was fully canvassed in all its bearings. He always seemed to give with cheerful
FISKE GENEALOGY. 371
alacrity his time to the pubUc whether the duty to be performed was an agreeable
one or not. He had pride, but placed himself on a footing of equality with all.
There was a time in his life when it would have been difficult to provide a man
with a more advantageous passport into the political world than a favorable word
spoken by Luke Fiske. He entered Harvard College when quite young, and grad-
uated with a good deal of honor. In 1819 he was the orator of the day for the
Fourth of July in the town of Waltham. He was an open-hearted, honest man,
generous and free in his sympathies, a genial companion, a lover of the social cir-
cle, and when roused was a debater of power. He would probably have stud-
ied a profession, but being an only child, his father and mo^lier were not willing
to have him leave them and he would not disappoint them, and as his father owned
two farms adjoining each other he went on to one of them, but did very little but
oversee it, as his time was taken up in other ways. He cared very little for money
excepting for what it would buy.
In referring to the organization of the Waltham Bank a local paper says:
"The Hon. Luke Fiske was chosen from the board of directors as the president of
the bank. Mr. Fiske retained his office until a short time before his death, when
declining health induced him to resign. He will long be remembered as one of
our leading citizens in his day and generation. Possessed of great energy, of will
and independence of character he was one of that class of men who are sure to
exercise a controlling influence over the community in which they reside. In all
matters relating to the well being of the town he took a lively interest. From
occupying the most important of town offices he had risen to the position of a
Senator for the county of Middlesex and to the honor of a seat in the council of
Governor Lincoln. He died in the midst of his usefulness." He d. Feb. 26, 1845;

Nathaniel, Nathaniel, William, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b.
Sept. 2, 1762; m. at Worcester, June 9, 1796, Sarah Duncan, b. 1775; d. Apr. 22,
1855, in Roxbury at her daughter's home. She was the daughter of Mr. Andrew
Duncan, a native of Glasgow, Scotland, who in company with his countryman,
Wm. Campbell, established himself in trade in Worcester before the Revolution
and married Sarah, daughter of Joseph Lynde, Esq., of Charlestown. The loyalty
of Mr. Campbell compelled him to leave the country and settle in Nova Scotia,
where for more than twenty years he was Mayor of St. John. He died in 1823, aged
82. Mr. Duncan shared the same political feeling, but continued to reside in
Worcester under unfavorable influences. He was drowned in a fishing excursion
on Quinsigamond Lake, soon after the termination of the war. Mrs. Fiske was
his only daughter.
Dr. Oliver Fiske, son of Rev. Nathan Fiske, was born in Brookfield, Mass.
His early education was superintended by his father, whose productive farm, dur-
ing most of the Revolutionary war was from necessity, principally confided to
his management. In the summer of 1780 a requisition for recruits for the Rev-
olutionary war was made. The quotas of men had thus far been furnished without
compulsory process; but levies had been so frequent that none would enlist freely.

at a season so busy. The company then commanded by the late Major General
John Culter, was ordered to met for a draft. Exempted by the courtesy ex-
tended to clergymen from military duty, and never having been enrolled,
Dr. Fiske offered himself as volunteer, with the approbation of his
father, who applauded the patriotic spirit, while the personal sacrifice
it involved was severely felt. Animated by the example, the requisite number came
from the ranks on the parade. The regiment in which they were embodied was
ordered to West Point, and was stationed in the vicinity of that post at the de-
fection of Arnold and the capture and execution of Andre. On being discharged
he returned to the farm, and was employed in its cultivation until the close of the
war in 1783, when he entered Harvard College.
At the breaking out of Shays' insurrection he was instrumental in reorganiz-
ing the Marti-Mercurian Band of the university, in obtaining an order from Gov.
Bowdoin for sixty stands of arms at Castle William, and was second officer of the
company. When the court commenced at Concord he was the organ of a pe-
tition from this corps, to march in support of government, which was properly
declined by the authorities of the institution.
In the winter vacation (1786-7) he took a school at Lincoln, but hearing of
the threatened movements of the malcontents to stop the judicial tribunals at
Worcester, he procured a substitute to assume his engagements, exchanged the
ferrule for an appropriate weapon and hastened to Worcester. Finding the enemy
dispersed and the troops on their way to Springfield he set out to visit his father.
On the heights of Leicester the report of Gen. Shepherd's artillery diverted him
from his course. Uniting himself to a body of light horsemen, then en
route, he joined Gen. Lincoln's army. When the rebellion was suppressed he re-
sumed his studies, without censure for the long absence, and graduated in 1787.
After the usual preparation, under the tuition of Dr. Atherton of Lancaster, he
commenced business in Worcester in October, 1790.
He was active in forming a county medical association, and in obtaining the
establishment of the present district organization of the Massachusetts Medical
Society. Soon after the formation of the last named body in the second medical
district, he was elected president and held the offices of councillor and censor
until he retired from the profession. In February, 1803, he was appointed
special justice of the court of common pleas. During five years succeeding 1809
he was member of the executive council. The commissions of Justice of the
Peace, of the Quorum, and throughout the commonwealth, were successively re-
ceived, and the latter has been renewed to the present time.
Dr. Fiske was corresponding secretary of the Linnaean Society of New Eng-
land in 1815. of the Worcester Agricultural Society from 1824, and councillor of the
American Antiquarian Society. He was Register of Deeds during the triennial
terra from 1816 to 1821. From this period an increasing defect in the sense of
hearing induced him to retire from busy life and devote himself to the pursuits of
horticulture and agriculture, those employments, in his own graceful language,
the best substitute to our progenitors for their loss of Paradise, and the best
solace to their posterity for the evils they entailed. The results of that taste and
skill in his favorite occupations, early imbibed, ardentlj' cherished and successfully
cultivated, have been freely and frequently communicated to the public in many
essays, useful and practical in matter and singularly elegant in manner. He pub-
lished an oration delivered at Worcester in 1797, an essay on "Spotted Fever,"
forming part of the "Transactions of the Massachusetts Medical Society," and.
other writings.
By the exertions of Dr. Oliver Fiske the most respectable and influential
physicians of the country assembled and formed the Worcester Medical Society
Dec. 18, 1794. Dr. John Frink, of Rutland, was elected president and Dr. Fiske, of
Worcester, secretary. At an early meeting a petition presented to the Legislature
for incorporation was referred to a joint committee of physicians and resulted
in an arrangement to enlarge the numbers of the general society and a proposal
to create district associations. This system, removing the evils which had been
felt was mutually satisfactory, was carried into effect, and on the 26th of Sept.
1804, the Worcester District Society was organized. The succession of presidents
has been as follows: 1794, John Frink; 1803, Israel Atherton; 1806, Oliver Fiske.

was graduated at Harvard University in the class of 1831; was
admitted to the bar in 1834, and practiced for a few years,
after which he gave his attention to horticulture and farming.
He was called into public service in 1856 as a member of the
Legislature, and was a member of the Board of Aldermen in
1858-59. and was elected Mayor of the city in 1863-64. He be-
came a director in the Boston & Albany Railroad corporation
in 1858, and was its vice-president and president in 1878, which
office he held at his death which took place accidentally at
New London, Conn., in 1880. During his term of Mayor the
duties of the office were quite arduous owing to the Civil war.

2198. REV. THADDEUS FISKE (Jonathan, Nathan. Nathan, Nathan. Na-
than, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, William, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b.
June 22, 1762, in Weston; m. June 17, 1787, Lucy Clarke, b. May 2, 1767, dau. of
Rev. Jonas Clarke, of Lex.; d. Mar. 9, 1855. Her great-grandmother was Lucy
Hancock, sister of Rev. John Hancock, father of the signer of the Declaration 01
Independence. The Rev. Thaddeus Fiske, in an account of himself and ancestry
appended to a "Sermon delivered at West Cambridge, Apr. 13, 1828," at the close
of his ministry, and published at Boston by Charles C. Little and James Brown,
1843, states: "I was born on the 22d of June, 1762. At the age of 17 I began to
prepare for college under the tuition of Rev. Mr. Samuel Woodward, who was an able
instructor and linguist, the minister of Weston, my native town. I was offered by
him for examination, and was admitted a student of Harvard University in July,
1781, and graduated in 1785."
After he had taken his degree, he taught a grammar school in Lexington, and
boarded in the family of the Rev. Jonas Clark. He returned to the university in
Cambridge, and studied divinity under Rev. Prof. Wigglesworth, and was licensed
to preach Aug. 8, 1786, by the "Association of Ministers in and about Cambridge."
He preached his first sermon in his native town, and after supplying several vacant
parishes, was invited in March, 1787, to preach to the Second Congregational
Church and Society in Cambridge, then called ^lenotomy, now "West Cam-
bridge." On July 16, 1787, he received a call to settle as their minister. "I hesi-
tated," he said, "for some time, whether to decline or to accept their invitation.
The parish was very small and poor and considerably involved in debt, having been
destitute of a settled minister about six years, and was in a broken state, very
much reduced in numbers and property. It was generally thought doubtful
whether they would be able to support a minister, or paj' the small salary they
offered me. But it was feared by many, and so stated to me, that if I gave a neg-
ative answer, the church and society would not make any further effort to obtain
a minister, and would be broken up and dissolved."
He accepted their invitation, and was ordained Apr. 23, 1788. Having cast
his lot with the "Second Church and Congregation in Cambridge," he immedi-
ately endeavored to allay the difficulties that obstructed their prosperity. He
began by relinquishing a part of his salary. To supply the deficiency of his
support, he boarded and instructed children and youth, and some he prepared
for admission to college; he instructed many daughters of his parishioners, and
other young ladies of the neighboring towns.
Though this employment occupied much of his time, yet he was enabled to
perform the usual duties of a minister, and to study and write and preach upward
of twelve hundred sermons during his ministry. He visited and taught his flock
from house to house, gave religious instruction to youth, and continued the prac-
tice adopted by his predecessor, the Rev. Samuel Cooke, of meeting the children
annually, and oftener. for the purpose of examining and assisting them in their
knowledge of the assembly's catechism, which was universally taught then by
their parents and heads of families. Sabbath schools were designed at first to aid
this practice. He assisted in defraying the current expenses of the parish; he con-
tributed fifty dollars toward furnishing a new house of worship, built in 1805; he
remitted annually, during his ministry, the parish taxes of many individuals who
were either unable or unwilling to pay their annual assessments; he gave fifty dol-
lars in aid and support of a singing school for the service of the house of wor-
ship, and ten dollars toward purchasing ?ii octavoviol for the use of the singers;
had a set of curtains put in the foreseat of the front gallery for the singers' con-
venience, and the pulpit painted at his expense. He commenced, in 1806. the
establishment of a social library, and took the entire care of it in his house, and
delivered books to the proprietors for more than twenty years without compensa-
tion. This and other things he did; and hence, in a few years, "the appearance of
the town, and the morals, and habits of the people," were changed for the better,
and "its favorable aspect induced many mdividuals and families of other towns to
come and settle in the place and aid and share in its growing prosperity." He
received from his people at the same time "many tokens of their 'respect and
benevolence," and enjoyed his full share of "their regards and affections."
In 1788 the Rev. Mr. Fiske became a member of the Board of Overseers of
Harvard University. In 1821 he was honored with the degree of Doctor of
Divinity by Columbia College, New York. He voluntarily resigned his pastoral
376 FISKE GENEALOGY.
ofifice and charge Apr. 23, 1828, leaving a church of about one hundred members
and a congregation of about live hundred souls for his successor.
Such is the substance of the narrative 01 this aged minister, appended to the
discourse delivered at the close of his n-inistry. The text of this farewell dis-
course was Acts XX. 18-21. Subject: The Life and Character of St. Paul, a Model
for Christian Ministers. During his mini.stry he baptized 749; number of funerals
he attended, 666; admissions to the church (including those owning their cove-
nant), 288; joined in mairisge, 386 couples. He lived to see five ministers succes-
sively ordained over this society, three of whom died before him; was at the time
of his death the oldest clergyman in Massachusetts. A marble monument marks
the spot of his burial in Arlington's old buiying ground, amid the members of his
flock.
In i;88 he wrote as follows in accepting the call to the church: "To the peo-
ple of the Church :ind Congregation of the North West Parish in Cambridge. In
answer to the invitation you have given me to settle with you in the work of the
ministry. I, in the first place return you my most heart}' thanks, especially for the
ma' y insta; ces of your i'riendship. esteem and affection. The sincerity and ardency
of >our desires are completely manifested in the disposition you have shown, and
your willingness to do whatever the heart of a reasonable man can wish. And
in considering your invitation in every point of view, I find my duty and happiness
unite in the acceptance. And as you have agreed to be satisfied in the choice of
me as your minister, and being induced by the encouragement you have offered,
and in confirmation of the contract we have made, I now accept of your invita-
tion. And being fully convinced that in the promol:ion of your prosperity, peace
and happiness, I shall increase my own. I do cheerfully devote myself, my strength
and future years to you. my fathers and brethren, in the service of my ]Niaker, and
our common Lord and Master. Under the protection and blessing of Almighty
God, being assisted by Him who is the Great Shepherd and head of the Church,
and being indulged with your prayers, I hope 1 may be a happy instrument as a
minister of the Gospel, to advance the Redcem.er's kingdom, and promote the
glorj' of God in the world, that I may serve you faithfully all the appointed time of
my days. And that in the morning of the Resurrection, I may be enabled to
appear, and say, here, Lord, am I, and here are the souls which Thou hast given
me. Thaddeus Fiske."
Rev- Dr. Fiske's Resignation. May 8, iSj8. The Rev. Dr. Fiske having pre-
viously signified his wish to the parish to resien the pastoral office, he was this day
regularly dismissed by vote of the parish. The parish at the same time gave an
affectionate and respectful testimonial of the good character and long and faith-
ful services of their pastor. For a full account of all the proceedings relative to
the resignation of Dr. Fiske. see the Parish Records.
May 14, 1828. At a meeting of the church — chose Jeduthun Wellington mod-
erator and Miles Gardner clerk pro tem. On motion, voted unanimously that the
following resolve be accepted and a copy of the same given to the Rev. Doctor
Fiske, viz. :
To all whom these presents may come. Whereas it has become expedient for
reasons stated in a communication made to the church and congregation of West
Cambridge, by the Rev. Dr. Fiske, Pastor of said church, that his pastoral relation
be dissolved by mutual consent, and that Mr. Miles Gardner, the parish clerk, be
a committee from the church to express to him the drc sense we have of his long
and faithful services among us and the deep regret we feel that existing circum-
stances should dissolve a union which has been so endearing to us by time. And
during forty years of his m.inistry he has maintained a fair character as a man and
as a Christian in the performance of his various and arduous duties; and has been
an examo'e of the believer in the word, in conversation, in faith, in benevolence,
in humi.iiy, in inirity, and in piety. And it is our ardent and fervent wish that his
life may be prolonged to do good; that the infirmities of age may rest upon him
with joy and hope. And that many blessings and comforts may attend him in his
retirement from his pastoral labors among us. He d. Nov. 14, 1855: res. West

1852. He entered Phillips Academy at Exeter at an early age, but was obliged
to return home on account of severe illness. He returned to college when
able, but was called home on account of the sudden death of his father and it
was necessary for him to remain with the family. After his marriage he went
to Weld, Me., and spent eleven years. He then returned to Wilton and spent
the remainder of his life there. He was a teacher twenty-five years in succession,
during the winter months and never missed a winter. His last school, the win-
ter lie was 52. He was deacon of the Second Congregational Church in Wihon,
N. H., twenty-four years, retiring from the office because he thought it belonged
to the younger members. He retained all his mental faculties in a remarkable
degree; dying at the age of 93 years, one month, one day. It could be said of
his as of Moses: "His eye was not dim," for he never wore spectacles. Was a
great reader and read to the very last of his life. He had a large gathering of
friends to celebrate his 90th birthday. There were ninety of the members of
the family, including ten great-grandchildren, sat down to the dinner. He d.

bridge, Mass., Nov. 28, 1785; m. at Wrentham, May 6, 1813, Jerusha Norton, b.
there Apr. 5. 1779; d. in Boston Apr. i, 1867. Mr. Fiske graduated from Brown
University, in the class with Gov. Wm. L. Marcy, whose friendship he enjoyed.
After graduation he became preceptor in an academy in Maine, but shortly deter-
mined to study law, and entered the office of Nathaniel Searle, LL. D., of Provi-
dence, and later, that of Timothy Bigelow. Esq.. of Boston. Mr. Fiske became
an able and successful lawyer. His office at Wrentham, Mass., was noted, and a
large number of students acquired their knowledge of law under his care and
instruction. Mr. Fiske was a man of great energy, quick perception, and a fluent
speaker. His ability to analyze a case and properly present its strong points, con-
tributed largely to his success, and if he had devoted himself exclusively to the
law, he would undoubtedly have ranked among the distinguished in that profes-
sion. Early in life he became interested in cotton manufacturing. He built a
mill at Sturbridge in 1827 and later erected a mill containing 10,000 spindles and
200 looms. The village of Fiskedale, Mass., commemorates his name. Men of
Mr. Fiske's stamp have molded the generation in which they lived. He was act-
ive and enterprising and earnest in promoting the general \velfare. That he was
deemed a public spirited man by his townsmen is evidenced by the fact that he was
repeatedly elected to office. He was State Senator from 1823 to 1826 inclusive;
was member of the Governor's Council in 1831 and was a member of the first
board of railroad commissioners created by the State. From 1823 to 1827 he was
aid de camp to Major-General Crane. He was a prominent Mason, being District
Deputy Grand Master and member of the Grand Lodge, F. & A. M. of Massachu-
setts. He was far seeing in his thought and plans, and subsequent events in Stur-
bridge and Wrentham proved the wisdom of his judgment. He was courteous and
kindly in his disposition, and these traits were marked in his family intercourse
He married Jerusha, daughter of Dr. Jenckes Norton and Jerusha Ware of Wren-
tham. His death occurred at Sturbridge, his birthplace, Aug. is. 1818. His broth-

ers, David Woodward, a lawyer who settled in Detroit and died in 1871, and Cal-
vin P., a physician who lived most of his life In Sturbridge and died in Chicago
in 1874, were both graduates of Brown University. Of his ten children Josiah
Jones and George Jenckes were members of the well known firm of James M.
Beebe & Co., of Boston, and contributed largely to its success. Josiah was un-

Vernon, Me., for several years member of the Senate and
House of Representatives of Maine. He d. in Boston, s. p.,
June 18, 1892. Joseph Norton received his early
education at Day's Academy. In 1833 he entered the
counting-room of Shaw, Patterson & Co., where he
remained five years, and afterward became confi-
dential clerk of the banking house of Geo. B. Blake & Co.
In 1846 he became a member of the Boston Broker's Board,
and opened a banking office on State Street. He met with
great success during his active business life, his ventures prov-
ing very lucrative. He enjoyed the highest confidence of the
business public in a wonderful degree. This was due not
only to his unquestionable personal integrity, but also to his
well known business methods and careful arrangement of his
financial matters. While at times his operations were im-
mense, his capital was invested in assets only of the highest
character, so that he could in every emergency meet his obli-
gations without inconvenience or sacrifice. He never specu-
lated, and his connection with an enterprise was a guarantee
that it was founded on sound business principles. He retired
from active business in i8;o, spending the next three years in
Europe, during which time he studied the financial afifairs of
Europe, making himself familiar with the moneyed interests
of the old world. He was among the first of the large prop-
erty holders to inaugurate the erection of the modem, palatial
office buildings. In 1888 he erected on State Street the well
known Fiske building, one of the finest buildings in Boston, a
niodel of beauty and convenience. In richness of interior fin-
ish and beauty of architecture it is unsurpassed in New Eng-
land. Mr. Fiske devoted the remaining years of his life to the
care of his extensive private business. Up to the very last of
his life he enjoyed remarkable vigorous health, and his well
preserved faculties of mind and body were a source of com-
ment and congratulation. The illness which terminated in his
death, June 18, 1892, was the result of a severe cold, which
confined him to the house only ten days. Mr. Fiske was re-
tiring m his disposition, finding his chief enjoyment in his
family. His sunny and kindly disposition rendered his home
life a very happy one. His charities were unostentatious and
seldom extended where publicity would be given to his acts.
Deserving young people struggling to improve their condi-
tion strongly appealed to his sympathies. He was a firm be-
liever in the cardinal doctrines of Christianity and all his life
was guided by their teachings and precepts. Though a Repub-
lican in politics, he was never an intense partisan, nor did he
have the least desire for public office. His aim was to dis-

the medical societies of the county, in all of which he was elected to positions of
honor and trust. After the death of his wife, in 1866 he came to Chicago,
111., and in 1870 was married to Mrs. Mary A. Hetfield, who still survives him.
He was a great sufferer, both physically and financially, by the Chicago fire. In 1872

of Sturbridge, Mass., is a rise of land (and a very sightly place, too,) which
has gone by the name of "Fisk Hill" for more than 150 years. Henry M. was
born there and lived on a farm fifty-six years. His father and mother were born

lived and died there. His father's father was born and lived there between fifty and
sixty years, but died in Woodstock, N. Y. His mother's father and mother were
born, lived and died there. They, together with his father and mother, died on the
same farm that Henry lived on fifty-six years. At one time there were seven
families by the name of Fisk living on the Hill, and there was no family by any
other name. Henry can recollect when there were five families of Fisk's, and only
two by any other name. His sister Sarah and himself were the last ones to
leave the Hill, but they still live in plain sight of the old farm, about two miles
away. They have outlived all their relatives that are nearer than cousins; no
uncles or aunts, nephews or nieces. He d. Dec. 7, 1859; res. Sturbridge, Mass.

He d. Apr. 13, 1896, in one of the houses on a farm on Fisk
Hill, Sturbridge. He was born and lived and worked at farm-
ing the first fifty-six years of his life. He presumes
if his mother was living she would say that he made
more work than he did in the first years of his
life; still he lived there. He sold the farm and moved
to Southbridge and spent the rest of his life there.
For a few years after he went there he worked in a machine
shop and kept a hotel. The rest of the time he has been in no
business. On that farm his mother, a daughter of Henry Fiske,
was born, and lived there till she was married. He was a man
of thoroughly upright, honorable, Christian character, a loyal
citizen and a true and faithful friend. His kindly, genial
nature endeared him to all who came into contact with him,
and his integrity commanded universal respect.

Fiske, was born at SoutTibridge. Mass. As a youth remarkably precocious and
with maturity developed remarkable ability and strength of character. Associated
with Sayles & Merriam, he became at 21 agent of the Hamilton Woolen Company,
and planned and built that company's water power, mill building and houses.
The crisis of 1846 when the change in tariff prostrated so many woolen industries
compelled the company to make great changes in plant and make worsted delaines,
then a new fabric, instead of broadcloth, which had been their product. At this
period his genius was especially demonstrated, as the change was successfully

inaugurated, and later the plant was greatly increased by the building of print
works. Unfortunately the strain on his system was so great that his health
broke down and the death, at this critical period in his career, of his firm friend,
Willard Sayles. the head of and largest stockholder in the company created
changes in the organization and put another man in control. His future career
was varied, but he never failed in successfully conducting any undertaking. He
died in Philadelphia at the early age of 54- He was always a stanch Republican,
and an advocate of protection principles. A strong temperance advocate, never

She was own cousin of Col. Sam Colt, inventor of the revolver; m. 2d, 1852. Her

generally of the orthodox Congregational variety, from Jonathan Edwards,
senior, down to Rev. Joseph Worcester, of Chicago, whose grandmother, wife of
Rev. Leonard Worcester, D. D., of Peacham, Vt., was sister of the wife of Ben-
jamin Colt, of Brookfield, Vt. Rev. Jeremiah Porter, who died a year or so ago
in Chicago, over 80 years of age, who, it is said, preached the first sermon ever de-
livered in Chicago, was also a relative. The first twenty-five years of Leonard's life
were spent in Randolph and in the adjoining town of Brookfield. After his mar-
riage in 1824 he lived for about tw^o years in Albany, Vt., then returned to Brook-
field. Learned trade of cutting marble gravestones, and went into that business

he remained till the death of his wife there in 1841. He married again in 1852 in
Concord, N. H. Had one son of this marriage, Frank P. Fisk, born June 14, 1857,
in Guernsey Co., Ohio (This Frank P. is now (1895) teacher of piano and organ
in Kansas City, Mo.). He followed his son Solon to Bloomington, 111., and died

war broke out. He resigned and joined the Confederate army.
In 1864 he resided in St. Louis, Mo., and later moved to Fort
Scott, Kan. He had three children, and after his death his
widow res. in Washington, D. C. He was an unusually bright
and interesting boy, and at the age of 17 was sent to the naval
academy at Annapolis, Md. There he associated largely with
southern gentlemen and lads of his own age, and became im-
bued with southern prejudices and principles. This feeling was
fostered largely by frequent visits from ex-Governor Hunter, of
North Carolina, who took special pains to gain the confidence
and corrupt the principles of the students. He visited them
often and of course presented his views in persuasive language
and brilliant colors. He succeeded but too well. One hundred
and fifty resigned at one time, James among them, which nearly
killed his father.

descendant of Thomas Eames, of Dedham. who came to America as early as 1634.
David Fiske, Jr., descended from good Puritan stock from three lines, Fiskes,
Babcocks, Lelands, and was a noble speciman of manhood of the times; honor-
able, quiet, unassuming in his manners and dealings, and acquired property suffi-
cient to purchase a large farm, and occupied and improved well. In the year
1815, there occurred a very severe storm of wind, very much like the western cy-
clones, but at that time such storms were unknown here, and never have occurred
since. At that time there was a very great damage to buildings, orchards and
forest trees. He was the owner of a large forest of pine, hemlock and other
woods, which was destroyed and laid low; and this storm has always been designat-
ed by the men of those days as the Great Blow. In trying to recuperate his fallen
fortunes he set himself to converting the fallen trees into lumber as speedily as
possible, and thus overworked his natural strength and he died of typhoid fever at
the age of 53 years. He d. May 24, 1816; res. Holliston, Mass.

Abner Morse, A. M., in his history of inhabitants of the towns of Sherborn and
Holliston, on page 86, writes as follows: Timothy Fisk, A. M., M. D., M. M. S. S.,
graduated from Harvard University 1801, subsequently studied medicine, settled in
his native town and was her first regularly educated physician. His course from
the first was marked with that modesty and gentlemanly bearing which cultivation
insures, and which are equally removed from the swaggering pretensions of empiri-
cism and the low and vile arts of rude and jealous rivalry. His skill was soon
appreciated and his conduct rewarded in a wide practice. This he retained to the
great advantage of the public, for a series of years, seldom attained by a laborious
physician. He has long held a high reputation abroad, shared largely in the con-
fidence of the faculty; ever maintained the strictest regard for moral virtue; and
he cannot fail of being long remembered as the beloved physician. He had sons:

portant business, as their financial agent, which proved successful in the end. But
not being accustomed to the living and climate, he sickened and died with fever

dumb. He learned, nevertheless, to read and cipher in the four fundamental rules
of arithmetic. At the age of 50 years he was admitted to the school for deaf mutes
at Hartford, Conn., for the term of one year. He made rapid progress and ac-

Apr. 20, 1825; d. Aug. 18, 1883. Edward R. Fiske was a printer and publisher of
assured position in Worcester, one of the oldest in the city, and once a prominent
newspaper man. He was born in Holden, Worcester county, Mass., and spent
his boyhood there. In Oct., 1837, he came to Worcester, and commenced work-
ing at the printer's trade with Mirick & Bartlett, on the Worcester Palladium and
Worcester Republican, the latter being afterward merged in the Palladium. The
papers were published in the Central Exchange. In May, 1841, Mr. Fiske formed
a partnership with Samuel D. Church, and in connection with job printing, pub-
lished the Worcester Waterfall, a temperance paper, afterward burned in the
fire of the Central Exchange, 1843. After the fire, Church & Fiske having sold
the Waterfall, printed the Palladium in the Central Exchange, which was rebuilt.
From this time until 1851 he spent a few months printing the State Sentinel, a year
as bookkeeper in Clinton, and the remainder of the time as bookkeeper in the
ofifice of the Worcester Spy. In 1851 he began business as a book and job printer
in Flagg's block, opposite the Bay State House, and was burned out there in
1853. In Apr., 1855, he purchased the daily and weekly Transcript, with Werden
Reynolds, which they published for one year. From this time until his death he
continued uninterruptedly the book and job printing busine>s, publishing in
connection with it the Worcester Daily Press, from Apr., 1873, to Dec, 1874, when,
on account of ill health he relinquished his interest in the Press to his partner,
J. A. Spalding. His printing ofifice was widely known as "The Franklin Printing
Office." Mr. Fiske was a member of All Saints' (Episcopal) Church, and was at
one time largely identified with its interests. He was a member of the vestry for
nine years, from 1870 to 1879, being its clerk in 1870. He was also
active in the Sunday school, serving as superintendent for awhile. He
was a member of the City Council for two years, 1872 and 1873; of
Montacute Lodge A. F. & A. M. ; and of the Worcester Typothetae, the organiza-
tion of master printers of the city of Worcester. He was in ill health for some
months before his death, which occurred at Mt. Holyoke, Northampton, Mass.,
June 29, 1891. On June 20, 1844, he married Rebecca Haskell Sumner, of Beverly,
Mass., who died Aug. 18, 1883. He d. June 29, 1891; res. Worcester, Mass.

406 FISKE GENEALOGY.
When the call for volunteers was made in 1863 he was one of
the first to enlist in Company E., Fifth lUionis Volunteer Caval-
ry, and served until the close of the war. Returning home with
honors, he worked at his trade and studied medicine, believ-
ing that he was better fitted for the latter vocation in life. In
1871 he began the practice of medicine at Springfield, Mo.,
under the able tutorship of his brother, Francis H. Fisk, M. D.
In 1873 he returned to Olney, 111., to assist his father, whose
health was rapidly declining. After his father's death, which
sad event occurred July 22, 1874, he took up the entire prac-
tice, continuing successfully until 1878, when, feeling that the
invigorating gulf breeze of the southwest would rebuild his
overtaxed constitution, he decided to move to Texas, since
which time he has devoted his exclusive attention to the study
and treatment of nervous diseases of men and women, build-
ing up an enviable reputation over his competitors, and today
Dr. R. W. Fisk stands pre-eminently at the head of his well
chosen profession in the special branches he has outlined. The
Fort Worth (Texas) Gazette, says editorially: "Dr. R. W.
Fisk. — This distinguished physician, located permanently in
Fort Worth about three years ago, and has built up an enviable
I reputation in the treatment and cure of chronic nervous dis-
eases of men and women and catarrh. His success has been
marvelous in curing diseases that baffled the skill of the best
physicians in our city or State. Hundreds in this and adjoin-
ing States who have been cured by this skillful physician will
long sing his praises. Dr. Fisk is an affable gentleman, modest
and unassuming for one of his ability and attainments. In his
relations with all with whom he comes in contact he is uniform-
ly courteous and kind. Dr. Fisk has cured many who were
without hope, languishing on the bed with disease that bafifled
the most learned physicians. Under his treatment they im-
provCj as if by the magical touch of one inspired. Dr. Fisk has
carried sunshine and gladness into many households where once
the dark gloom of disease enshrouded the hearthstone. Many
friends and patients join in their approving voice to swell the
grand chorus that goes up from all over the land in his praise
and honor. May he live long to do much good for his skill
is marvelous."

Judith Decrow, of Lincolnvi'.le, Me., b. June 8, 1828. He was one of the California
pioneers in 1849, going around Cape
Horn — a six months' passage. He re-
turned in 1850 and started again from
Wilmington, sixty miles west of Chicago,
111., with a train of three wagons, across
the great plains— a six inonths' tramp.
He returned in 1855 and settled in Bil-
lerica on his place which he has named
"Elmore," from the fact that a group of
four large American elms overshadow a
l)eautiful lawn. The youngest tree was
planted the same year as the erection of
the house, in 1796. There he has for
forty-one years tried to add to the agri-
cultural products of our great and almost

this sketch received an excellent education, studied law and was in due course of
time admitted to the bar. He has practiced since continuously, until his retire-
ment, in the courts of the State of Kentucky. He has been one of the most prom-
inent citizens in Covington, Ky. He has been president of two academies in Ken-
tucky, president of the school board in Covington, Ky. ; several times attorney of
the city — called city attorney; several times county attorney; eight years State
Senator; part of the time president of the Senate and thus ex-officio Lieutenant-
Governor. He has been through all the grades of Odd Fellowship, including
Grand Master of this State — that is of the L O. O. F., and Grand Representative
of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, L O. O. F., of the United States; at present a
director in the Covington and Cincinnati (Suspension) Bridge Company; director
in the Covington Gas Company; director in the First National Bank of Covington,
Ky. ; president of Highland Cemetery; president of the board of trustees of the
First Christian Church, and vice-president of the Covington Protestant Children's
Home. One of the religious papers in Kentucky in referring to Gov. Fisk says:
"Last Saturday, Gov. John F. Fisk celebrated his 8oth birthday by a family re-
union, at the old home on Eleventh Street. It was a very enjoyable affair. Brother
Fisk has held many honorable positions in the gift of the people, and his familj^ is
one of which he can be justly proud. He has been one of the pillars of this church
for many years, and we all hope he may be spared yet a long while to aid us by
his counsel and timely advice. As was truly said at the reunion, he is the highest
of God's creation — a Christian gentleman." In Jan., 1879, at the invitation of the
Mexican minister, a company of merchants and others visited Mexico. There
were nearly one hundred of them. The first night out of Chicago — the starting
point— they organized under the name of "The American Industrial Deputation,"
elected officers, and appointed Governor Fisk president. Under this organization
they visited Mexico as the guests of the Republic, remained there one month,
being feasted by cabinet officers, by Hon. John W. Foster, the then American
minister, and others. They returned via Vera Cruz and Galveston. Several years
since, Diaz, the president of Mexico, visited several cities of the United States,
Chicago among them. Governor Fisk was invited to meet President Diaz in Chi-
cago, and did so. A banquet was given at the Palmer House, at which the Gov-
ernor responded to one of the toasts; res. 13 W. nth St., Covington, Kv.

b. Feb. 8, 1836. John Manson Fisk, the
subject of this sketch, was born at Ab-
botsford, P. Q., Dec, 13, 1836, and is the
third son of Nathaniel Fisk and grand-
son of Capt. Cotton Fisk, a United Em-
pire Loyalist, who came from Epping, N.
H., to Canada in 1788. John, one of the
four, as soon as he was old enough,
worked on the farm during the summer
months and attended school in winter,
finishing his education at the age of 18
possession of his father's farm in 1840,
he married Ellen Maria Knowlton, by
which marriage there were ten children
at the Granby Academy. Coming into
born, five sons and five daughters, all
attaining maturity, excepting the two
youngest sons who died in infancy. As
one of the leading agriculturists of his
county, he has been called to fill various
positions of trust, doing duty for thirteen
years as a member of the local council,
a member of the school board, and fill-
ing other minor positions in municipal
oiSce. He was appointed a Justice of
the Peace by the Lieutenant-Governor
of the Province in 1882. At an early
period of his life he developed a taste for

years has been engaged in the nursery business, and as a fruit grower becoming an
authority of some note on the fruits of his Province. United with others of sim-
ilar tastes, who, in 1874, succeeded in organizing a Fruit Grower's Association at
Abbotsford, he was elected one of its chief officers, and for several years has filled
the position as president. This society published the first fruit list for the Province
of Quebec in 1875, and for many years entered largely into experimental work and
the introduction of new fruits, which have become widely known through the dis-
semination of its trees and collections of fruits which have appeared on most of
the exhibition tables of the Province from time to time, as well as on those of the
Centennial at Philadelphia in 1876, the Intercolonial and Indian at London, Eng-
land, in 1886, and the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893. Feeling the need of a
Provincial organization and associating himself with other leading fruit growers
of the Province, application was made to the Provincial Legislature for incorpora-
tion, which was granted by the government in January, 1894, under the name of
"The Pomological and Fruit Growing Society of the Province of Quebec." A
meeting was convened during the following month at Abbotsford for the i)urpose
of organizing and electing a board of directors, when Mr. Fisk was honored by
becoming the first president of the new society. In politics a liberal conservative,
and in religion an Episcopalian, having from early childhood been closely asso-
ciated with St. Paul's Church, Abbotsford, and for over thirty-five years served

the spring to help his father on the farm at Abbotsford. He
went to Knowlton again the following fall for another winter
in the academy, and it was after returning to Abbotsford again
that he decided to study medicine, and immediately commenced
work on the subjects necessary for his matriculation in the
College of Physicians and Surgeons of the Province of Que-
bec, studying evenings after the day's work on the farm was
over. In Oct., 1890, he entered the high school at Granby,
P. Q., and the following spring he took with honors the degree
of associate in arts from McGill University. He continued his
studies during the winter of 1891-92 at the Granby high school,
and in May, 1892, successfully passed his matriculation for the
study of medicine in the Province of Quebec. In Oct., 1892,
he commenced the four years' course of medical study at Mc-
Gill University, Montreal. During his final year there he was
elected by his fellow students to the position of president of
the Undergraduates Medical Society. Graduating with first
class honors, he received from the university on the 31st of
March, 1896, the degree of doctor of medicine and master of
surgery. Dr. Fisk then applied for the position of resident
medical officer in the Montreal General Hospital, and stood
first in the entrance examination given to the twenty-eight
applicants by the Hospital Medical Board, thereby receiving
the appointment for one year.

education was obtained at the public schools at Abbotsford, Granby, Lennoxville
and McGill College, Montreal, all in the Province of Quebec, Canada. While at
Lennoxville, in the fall of 1857, he unfortunately met with an accident to his right
knee which necessitated his using crutches for the two following years. In June,
i860, he went to England for a trip for his health, returning much benefited.
In Dec, i860, he went to Montreal and entered the office of Dr. Aldis Bernard,
surgeon dentist, to study said profession, and became a pupil of Dr. Bernard.
After remaining w-ith the doctor until the 21st of February, 1861, he was accepted
and indentured to him for two years, having to pay him $200 and board himself;
also having to attend lectures at McGill College, with the understanding that he
•was to become a partner at the end of the two years. Unfortunately when his
time was up his health was so broken from hard study and work that his doctor
ordered him out of the city and to take a long holiday. In May, 1863, he left the
city and went knocking about the townships, returning every few months to Dr.

lespie, b. there Nov. 12, 1849. Rev. Nathaniel B. Fisk was born in Abbotsford, P. Q.,
Mar. 4, 1848, son of Sewell Cotton Fisk and Mary Ann Gorton. In 1866 he entered the
New Hampshire Conference Seminary, where he graduated, taking immediately
thereafter the theological course at the Boston University, from which he gradu-
ated in 1871. He was ordained a deacon in the Methodist Episcopal Church at
Lynn, Apr. 6, 1873, and an elder at Springfield, Apr. 11, 1875. He has occupied
stations in the New England Conference since 1871, all his pastorates being three
years. He has had a grand record as pastor, winning all hearts to himself, and
directly leading multitudes to the Savior of men. His preaching is strong, pathet-
ic, convincing. He moves men. He is a man of intense energy and tireless in-
dustry. This is his fourth year at Chicopee Falls, and the church under his lead
has reached its most prosperous history, with a Sunday school of more than 300
members and a church membership of 275 members in full and 43 probation. It
has today the largest Sunday school and largest congregation of any church in the
city. He built a fine church at Upton, Mass. The elegant Grace Church at Cam-
bridge, a $6,000 parsonage at Ashburnham, besides raising $14,000 to pay off the
debt on the Ashburnham Church. He secured the gift of a $7,000 parsonage
from his personal friend, Hon. Luman Tufts at Hudson. While at Grace Church,
Cambridge, Mr. Fisk was invited by the pastor, official board and the presiding
elder to take the assistant pastorate of People's Church, Boston, but declined. He
was also offered the business management of the New England Conservatory of
Music, having 2,250 pupils. Since coming to Chicopee Falls he has declined an
offer of $4,000 per year, with a guarantee for five years, and also an interest in the
business, if he would take charge of a stock company in Boston, as business man-
ager. His record of 2.200 pastoral calls last year shows him to be abundant in
labors. In 1872 Mr. Fisk was married to Miss Katherine Gillespie, who has la-
bored with him earnestly in the gospel. In 1878 he enjoyed a protracted vacation

father in 1861 was a very easygoing, uneventful one, his time being mostly spent
at the schools of the district and adjacent towns. Being the youngest son and at
that period the only one at home, his father's death threw the care of the farm and
postoffice upon him, and his life for a few years was an active and rather laborious
one but he found leisure to prosecute his studies and in 1865 he was indentured to
Mr.' Houghton, barrister of Montreal, and entered upon the study of law at Mc-
Gill College. In 1866 his articles of indenture were transferred to his cousin, John
J. C. Abbott, Q. C, then the leading lawyer in the city and afterward Sir John Ab-
bott, premier of the Dominion of Canada. In May, 1868, he received the degree
of B. C. L. from McGill College, and in the month of December following was
admitted to the practice of the law. After spending two years in the practice of
his profession in Montreal, he removed to Coaticook in 1871 where he has since
resided. He married Aleyda E. David, daughter of the late Lieutenant-Colonel
David, of Montreal. After an active and successful practice of his profession for
ten years he became interested in manufacturing industries, and in 1881 assumed
the management of an extensive knitting industry in his town and is at present at
the head of the Lenman Manufacturing Company there, a wealthy corporation con-
trolling a number of factories both in this Province and in Ontario. He has taken
an active interest in politics, and usually directs the political contests in his section
of that county in the interests of the liberal conservative party; res. Coaticook,

4397. i. ALMON PERRY, b. July 10, 1835. It is probable that Mr. Fisk
has the distinction of being the oldest dry goods merchant
in Rock Island coun-
ty, 111. He is a native
of Northern New
York and spent the
first ten years of his
adult life in railway
service. He then went
to Geneseo, 111., and
engaged in the dry
goods business for ten
years after, which he
located in Moline, the
date being 1873. As
proprietor of the Bos-
ton Store he has had
several of the best lo-
cations in the city and
his removals have
been due to the chang-
ing course of business.
The new store in the
Rosenstein bock,
which he will occupy
before Nov. i, 1896, is
to be the most ele-
gantly fitted and fur-
nished store m that city. Mr. Fisk is a shrewd buyer. As a
merchant he is successful and as a citizen has hosts of friends
who hold him in high esteem.

island in Lake Champlain. He sold out there in 1852 and moved to Moira, N. Y.,
where he purchased a farm. The following winter he met with an accident that
incapacitated him from any kmd of manual labor. In splitting wood the axe
glanced and went into the left foot. Gangrene set in before many weeks, and on
Apr. 29, just three months after the accident, it was amputated; even then it did
not get along well, for the arteries broke out and another operation was per-
formed about four weeks after the first. He slowly regained his health, and for
a few years could get around some on his crutches, when a more terrible affliction
overtook him; for the last five or six years of his life he was totally blind. At
one time he had a fulling mill, on Otter Creek, in Vermont, while residing in
Weybridge, but it was swept away in a freshet. He d. Dec. 18, 1863; res. Moira,

2721. DANIEL FISK (Abraham, Jonathan, John, Benjamin, John, John,
Phinehas, Thomas, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b. Whitesboro
(Utica), N. Y., June 10, 1792; m. May 29, 1816, Sarah Doolittle Brown, b. St.
Johnsbury, Vt., Dec. 24, 1798; d. in Sparta, Wis., in July, 1877. Daniel Fisk, sec-
ond son of Abram and Elizabeth (Arnold) Fisk, was born at Whitesboro, N. Y.
(now Utica), June 10, 1792, and reared there and at Watertown, N. Y., on his
father's farm receiving only the rudiments of an education. He served an appren-
ticeship at the trade of a molder which he afterward followed at divers times. He
served in the War of 1812 at Sacketts Harbor. In 1816 he married Sarah D.
Bowen, of St. Johnsbury, Vt., a daughter of Pelig and Eusebia (Harvey) Bowen.
After marriage he owned and operated a farm in Jef¥erson County, N. Y., until
1820, when he moved to Ohio and on to a farm purchased at Conneaut, Ashtabula
County. In 1823 he sold the farm and returning to New York was connected with
a foundry and furnace at Rossie until 1826, when he moved to Springfield, Ohio,
where he purchased lands containing a bed of potter's clay and built a pottery
which he operated very successfully until 1835, when he sold the Springfield prop-
erty and purchased an interest in a pottery at Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and a
gypsum bed near that place. In 1836 he built a pottery at Cleveland, Ohio, and
moved his family there into a fine home located on the city square, opposite the
court house. He was now a wealthy man but in 1838 the business failure of a
partner with whom he had become connected in Cleveland swept away a large por-
tion of his property, and refusing to take advantage of the newly enacted bankrupt
laws, he gave up everything, including his home in Cleveland, except his interests
in Canada. He went to Canada, built a mill at his gypsum beds, and commenced
what proved a profitable business; but the locality proved very unhealthful; his eldest
son, Lorenzo, coming over to assist in the business, was taken sick and died there,
and his own health failing he disposed of this and his Hamilton property in 1842-45
and purchasing wild lands near Middleburg, Ohio, returned to his old occupation
— molding — at that place, improving his lands from time to time as the opportunity
ofifered. In 1852 disposing of his property he removed with his own and the fam-
FISKE GENEALOGY. 427
ily of his son-in-law, W. W. Robinson, to Sparta, Monroe County, Wis., where
he secured lands and continued to live, with the exception of a short sojourn in
Minnesota, 1859-60, until his death in April, 1868, devoting his attention to farming,
though not exclusively, as he claimed to have found a valuable bed of potter's
clay in Monroe County and was gathering means to purchase the lands containing
it when he died, the secret of its location dying with him. He was a man of won-
derful energy and pluck, of a happy and rollicking disposition, never cast down or
discouraged. He died without a moment's indisposition, seated in his easy chair,
nearly 76 years of age, but in manner and carriage not more than 50. His widow
survived him ten years, dying in 1878. He d. in Apr., 1868; res. Watertown, N. Y.,

4519. ii. SARAH JANE, b. Sept. 18, 1819; m. Feb. 5, 1842, Col. William
Wallace Robinson. He was b. Fair Haven, Vt., Dec. 14, 1819;
res. Wildwood, Wis. William Wallace Robinson (husband of
Sarah Jane Fisk), son of John Williams and Rebecca (Merritt)
Robinson, is a descendant in the seventh generation from John
Robinson of Leyden, Holland, Fame ("the Puritan Father").
Born at Fair Haven, Vt., Dec. 14, 1819, he received his educa-
tion in the common schools of Vermont and Castleton Semi-
nary and Rutland Academy, graduating from the last named
when 19 years of age. He also took a course at the Norwich
Military Academy. From 1838 to 1840 he taught school in his
native State and New Jersey, when he went to Cleveland, Ohio,
and in company with Wm. Murphy, a professor of languages
from Philadelphia, opened and conducted for some years the
"Cleveland High School and Academy." Feb 5, 1842, he mar-
ried Sarah Jane, the eldest daughter of Daniel Fisk, and con-
tinued to teach until war was declared with Mexico in 1846.
He promptly enlisted with Ohio volunteers and was elected
First Lieutenant of his company which was assigned to the
Third Regiment Ohio Volunteers, as Company G, his com-
mission bearing date June 12, 1846. Oct. 26, 1846, he was
promoted Captain of his company. He served at Fort Brown
and Matamoras, Carnargo, Monterey and Buena Vista, though
his command took no part in those battles being engaged on
detached service. In July, 1847, the terms of enlistment of the
regiment expiring, the entire command was mustered out of
the service at New Orleans and he returned to Ohio and en-
gaged in farming and teaching until the summer of 1851, when
he made a trip to Wisconsin, locating lands for himself and
father-in-law, Daniel Fisk, at Sparta, [Monroe County. Re-
turning to Ohio in the fall, intending to move his family to
Wisconsin in the spring, he changed his plans, and went to
California himself, leaving his family with Mr. Fisk who re-
moved with them to Wisconsin in Sept., 1852. The trip to
California, overland, consumed six months to a day, he arriv-
ing at Whiskey Diggings, Sierra County, in September. He
engaged in mining for a few weeks but soon with several part-
ners took a contract to construct a flume, some eleven miles in
length, for the Minnesota Water Company, which was to
conduct water from a mountain stream for use at "Smiths" and
the "Minnesota Diggings." After completing this job he en-
gaged in various enterprises of a more or less remunerative
character until the fall of 1855, when he rejoined his family at
Sparta, Wis., and removing during the winter of 1855-56 to
Waseca County, Minnesota, founded the town of Wilton
which for a time became the county seat. In 1858 he ran for
the State Legislature en the Democratic ticket, but was defeat-
ed, and was appointed Colonel of the Ninth Regiment Minne-
sota Militia, by Governor Sibley. In 1859 selling his Minne-
sota property he returned to Sparta, Wis., and built a home
428 FISKE GENEALOGY.
on his lands near that village. At the breaking out of the
Civil war he was engaged in drilling the first company raised in
the county, and Aug. 15, 1861, was commissioned Lieutenant-
Colonel of the Seventh Regiment Wisconsin Volunteer Infan-
try, and with this regiment, which with four others constituted
the famous Iron Brigade, he served, taking part in every battle
fought by the Army of the Potomac except the first Bull Run,
Antietam (fought while he was in hospital with a severe wound
received at battle of Gainesville) and Five Forks. He was pro-
moted Colonel of the regiment in Feb., 1862, and was frequent-
ly in command of the brigade by reason of his seniority before
1863, but from the morning of the first day's fight at Gettys-
burg, when Brigadier-General Meredith was wounded, he com-
manded the Iron Brigade through the bloody campaigns of
1863-64 and until the army sat down in the trenches around
Petersburg, when suffering from sickness and the breaking
out of his wound received in 1862 he resigned in July, 1864.
He had taken part in over thirty battles and "affairs" and
though "hit" three times, received but one serious wound, that
at Gainesville. His regiment, the Seventh Wisconsin, lost
more men killed and wounded by four than any other taking
part in the war, as is shown by the records of the War Depart-
ment and recently published. At the close of the war he was
tendered a Brevet Brigadier-General's commission, but de-
clined it. After somewhat recovering from his wounds (1865),
he engaged in farming and lumbering, removing to Chippewa
Falls, Wis., in 1874. In 1875 he was appointed United States
Consul to Madagascar by President Grant, and undisturbed
by succeeding administrations held that office until the fall of
1886, when, heeding the remonstrances of his children, he re-
signed and came home to spend his old age surrounded by his
children and grandchildren. During his service in Madagascar
he made the treaty with that government which the French
at this writing are attempting to set aside, and at the urgent re-
quest of the Queen of Madagascar was directed by our State
Department to accompany the Malagassy Embassy on its visit
to the courts of Europe and to the United States in 1882-83
during its vain search for peace. He and his wife are now liv-
ing with his youngest son in Wisconsin, hale and hearty,
though both are in their 77th year. He is a descendant of the
Rev. John Robinson, the Leyden pastor, b. in Lincolnshire,
England, i575; emigrated to Leyden, Holland, in 1608, with his
congregation, and there formed the nucleus of the Plymouth
Colony of 1620. He is a direct descendant of his through his
son Isaac, b. 1610; Peter, b. 1660; Peter, Jr., b. 1697; Eliab, b.

breeding, the son preferred another line of occupation. Gilbert, as he was called,
had, in search of education, found city life more congenial than the lonely and drear
days and nights on a farm. He soon disposed of the farm and removed to Oswe-
go, N. Y. He here established a teaming business, which he conducted with
fair success for many years. He had a thorough knowledge of horses, and in
his string of teams, private and draft horses, he had the pride of the city, and
was noted for his fine stock. He was a very conservative man, strong in his
political preferences, yet would never consider political preferment. But his Re-
publicanism was very pronounced. When nearing 50 years of age, his health be-
came poor, and he gave up business cares, and sought many sources for the
restoration of physical forces, with limited success. In this way he spent the last
ten years of his life, and after about four years of serious throat trouble, partial
paralysis developed, and he died at the age of 64 years. He d. Sept. 10, 1880; res.

Fiske, of Troy, N.
Y., was born at
Rome, N. Y., Dec.
26, 1848. While he
was an infant his
people removed to
Oswego. N. Y.
where he attended
the schools of that
city (rated the best
in the state), finish-
ing there his studies
in Oswego, in 1867,
after which he went
to a preparat ory
school for one year,
at Hannibal, N. Y.
He spent the spring
and summer of 1865
as a clerk in the Os-
wego postofKce, thus
being a government
clerk at the. time
P r e s i dent Lincoln
was shot, and wore
for thirty days the
customary evidence
of mourning, crape on the left arm. In the spring of 1868
he went to Albany, N. Y., to prepare for a medical course.
Prior to entering upon the full course of medicine, he took
the advanced course in the Boys' Academy, Albany, N. Y.,
and following this course he took a six months' private course
in study with Professor Swan, principal of the above named
school. Following this course he entered the office of Dr.
Andrew Wilson, of Albany, then the president of the Albany
County Medical Society. He soon became a favorite of Dr.
Alden March, the founder of the Albany Medical College, and
accompanied this great surgeon to most of his capital sur-
gical operations up to the time of his death, which occurred
in the fall of 1869, the doctor favoring young Fiske, owing
to his steady nerve, placing him in the fore when there
were several bleeding arteries to pick up and tie. While yet
a student, in May, 1870, he was offered and accepted a posi-

tion, with large advantages for study, in the Marshall In-
firmary, Troy, N. Y. He remained here until Sept., 1871,
when he went to the City Hospital, Albany, N. Y., and took
the final course at the college, graduating the same year,
Dec. 26, 1871, the anniversary of his birthday. As a medical
student young Fiske was very popular in classes, being chair-
man of the first quiz class, and one of the foremost and officers
of the football and baseball teams. He was elected poet of
his class, and on two occasions replied in witty verse to news-
paper criticisms of exposure of canned and dried anatomical
specimens, for a short time exposed in the museum windows,
while cleaning the museum. After graduating, he returned to
the Marshall Infirmary as assistant physician,, which position
he held until Apr., 1874, when he was appointed by the Mayor
of Troy (without his knowledge) city physician. May 10, 1874,
He accepted the office, left the Infirmary, and located in the city.
He held this office four years, when he resigned and accepted
the editorial head of the New York Medical Brief. He held
this position but one year, finding journalistic work too severe
and trying. He returned to Troy, and has since confined him-
self to the advancement of his knowledge of medicine, keep-
ing in active practice. Dr. Fiske is a recognized authority
on diseases of throat and lungs, and has a large practice in
this line, being much called, near and far, in consultation.

Fisk was born in Scituate, R. I., Oct. 16, 1813. He learned the trade of carpen-
ter in Providence, and went to Pawtucket in 1836. For a year or two he was
foreman of the building operations at the Dunnell Print Works, and then went
into business with Nathaniel Lewin, under the firm name of Lewin & Fisk, car-
penters and builders. Subsequently Charles E. Kenyon was taken into the
firm, when the name became Lewin, Fisk & Kenyon. This firm built some
of the largest mills in the State of Rhode Island at that time, among them being
the Atlantic Delaine Mill in Olneyville. Mr. Fisk retired from this firm in 1868,
and entered the employ of the Providence, Washington, Equitable, Atlantic
and Hope insurance companies as adjuster and examiner. With the two

companies first named he remained until
the day of his death, twenty-five years,
but the Atlantic and Hope companies
went out of business at the time of the
Chicago fire, at which time Mr. Fisk
settled claims amounting to over $l,ooo,-
000. During his connection with these
companies he settled thousands of
claims, and was one of the oldest and
best known insurance adjusters in New
England. He was elected one of the
directors of the Pawtucket Mutual Fire
Insurance Company in 1859, and held
that position as long as he lived, a pe-
riod of thirty-four years, being the old-
est director in the company. He was
one of the trustees of Park Place Church
from its organization, and one of the
building committee of the church. He
was a member of the Knights Templar
and in his younger days took an active
part in that order. He took no part
in politics, but gave his whole attention
to business and was active and ener-
getic, showing little of the marks
of advancing age up to the time he was
taken ill. His wife was Miss Sarah Mar-
chant, of Yarmouth, Mass. She and
two sons, Stephen F. and Frank D., sur-
vive him. He d. May 18, 1893; res.

FRANK DUANE, b. Dec. 13, 1843; d. Mar. 19, 1895. He was
born in Pawtucket, and was a son of the late Stephen P. Fisk.
For many years he was connected with the firm of J. E. Cald-
well & Co., silversmiths, of Philadelphia, and later he was of
the firm of Fisk & Co., druggists, of Pawtucket. Of late years
he had not been engaged in active business pursuits. He was
greatly attached to his family, being especially devoted to his
aged mother, with whom he lived, making brighter her declin-
ing years. During the War of the Rebellion he was a member
of the Ninth Rhode Island Regiment, and when Tower Post,
No. 17, G. A. R., was formed, he was consequently qualified
to become one of its charter members, and for two years he
served as its commander. He was also a charter member of
the Pawtucket Veteran Firemen's Association. He never held
public office, although deeply interested in whatever concerned
the Democratic party, and he was frequently selected as a dele-
gate to city and State conventions. He was kind of heart,
true to his friends, and many will join the bereaved family in
mourning his loss.

an early age he became a merchant's clerk, and followed that occupation for sev-
eral jcars in New York State, when, upon reaching man's estate, he married.
Deciding to come west he journeyed to Ohio. Two years later he came further
weit, and in 1835 stopped in Green Bay, where he engaged in the lumber business

son, and brought them to his new home. He was the pioneer kuiiberman in cer-
tain sections of northern Wisconsin, and buiU the first mill at De Pere. He also
erected the first grist null at Fond du Lac. In inspecting the timber lands of Wis-
consin in 1835, he walked over the territory between Green Bay and Chicago by
Indian trail. He was admitted to the bar soon after his arrival at Green Bay, and
during his younger years was an active politician. He was Judge of Probate at
Green Bay in 1836; was appointed Postmaster at Green Bay in 1836 and again in
1846, and also appointed Register of the United States Land Office in 1848. He
laid out and platted the original site of the city of Fort Howard, recently consoli-
dated with Green Bay. He later abandoned the legal profession for more active
mercantile pursuits, and in these, and real estate investments, amassed a fortune.

Cyrus Fisk, son of Samuel Fisk, was
born in Isle La Motte, Vt., Aug. 19,
1818, and attended several academies and
seminaries of learning and obtained a
good education. Before the period of
adolescence in his life history had passed
he united with the jNIethodist E. Church
in Isle La Motte, and during his life
was one of the principal supporters of
that church. Held town office in Isle La
^lotte the greater part of the time he
lived there. He represented the town of
Isle La Motte in the Legislature of Ver-
mont in the years 1867 and 1868. Upon
the death of his father, the said Samuel,
Hiram C. Fisk became the main pro-
prietor of the said Fisk marble quarry,
and worked the same more successfully
than his father did before him and ac-
cumulated more property than his
father had, being the wealthiest man in
Isle La Motte at the time he removed
therefrom. He bought the farm or
homestead once owned by his uncle,
Solomon Fisk, in Chazy, N. Y., and
moved there in 1876. He, like his father,
was the furthest estranged from malev-
olence, unkindness and enmity to other
persons under any circumstances. He
was always social, generous and forbearing in his nature, and was a public bene-
factor. He d. Sept." 7, 1884; res. Isle La Motte, Vt., and Chazy, N. Y.

Vt. The Hon. Nelson Wilbur Fisk, son of Hiram C. Fisk,
Esq., was born Aug. 5, 1854, in Isle La Motte, Vt., and at-
tended the Montpelier Seminary and Fort Edward Institute,
and is a graduate of Eastman's Business College, Pough-
keepsie, N. Y., and obtained a good education. His father,
the said Hiram C, deceased when Nelson W. was quite young,
when the large property and business operations of the father
devolved upon the son, Nelson W. He adminstered in a re-
markable manner upon his father's estate, being so young in
years. He afterwards became sole proprietor of the Fisk
marble quarry, and owns it at this time, and has been very suc-
cessful in that enterprise; is a general merchant and owns a
large amount of real estate. He is the ablest man, pecuniarily,
in said Isle La Motte. His property in value far transcends that
of his father's and grandfather's combined. The said Nelson W.

his town in the Legis-
lature of Vermont for
two terms, from 1882
to 1886. He afterward
in 1888 was elected a
Senator from Grand
Isle County in the
Legislature of Vermont
for two years. While
in the Senate he intro-
duced bills that became
important laws of the
State. He was appoint-
ed by the Governor of
Vermont chairman of
the Industrial School.
an institution run by
the State at Vergenus.
Vt., He is also one of
the trustees of the
Montpelier Seminary,
also a trustee of the
State Normal School
at Johnson, Vt. Was
a member of the dele-
gation in the National
Convention, held in
Chicago. 1888. Also a
delegate from Vermont
to the National Con-
vention, held at .Min-
neapolis, 1892. j\Ir. Fisk is eminently a public spirited man;
pays liberally of his large resources for pious, charitable and
beneficent purposes. He also inherited the virtue from his
ancestors and progenitors of being possessed of no ill-will,
prejudice or bias toward his fellowmen. The Hon. Nelson W.
Fiske is one of the best business men in the State of Vermont.
His advice and counsel are sought after by high State officials
in matters of municipal concerns and the policy of State afifairs.
When said Fisk was Senator, as aforesaid, the Chaplain of the
Senate said to the writer hereof that he (Fisk) was one of
the best business men, one of the best Senators in that Senate.
Mr. Fisk is a young man now, comparatively, and will accom-
plish a great deal of life's attainments if permitted to live to a
tolerabljr good age.
When he was being urged by his friends as a candidate
for Lieutenant-Governor of Vermont, the Burlington Free
Press said editorially: "He has yielded to the wish of many of
his warm friends throughout Vermont in that he will be a
candidate for the second place on the ticket. The announce-
ment will be gratifying to a large proportion of the Republicans
of the State. Mr. Fisk is a staunch Republican. He is an hon-
orable, genial and popular gentleman. As a Representative in
the House in '82 and '84; Senator from Grand Isle County in
'88; trustee of the Vermont Reform School, and leading mem-
ber of the Fish and Game League, and in other public capaci-
ties, he has shown ability, sound judgment and large capacity
for business. He has not asked for support, nor shown any
eagerness to become a candidate for Lieutenant-Governor.
In fact, it is the simple truth that he has up to this time re-
sisted a very considerable amount of pressure from many
quarters, urging him to permit the use of his name. His can-
FISKE GENEALOGY. 441
didacy is thus an honorable one and every way creditable to
him. Jrlis name, when placed upon the ticket, will add
strength and popularity to it; and when he is elected the office
will have sought the man, and it will be a source of gratifica-
tion to many in other sections of the State that the good Island
County has at last been recognized by the bestowal of an im-
portant elective State office." At the Republican State Con-
vention, held in 1896, he was nominated by acclamation for
Lieutenant-Governor and elected by a very handsome majority.
At the joint session of the Vermont Legislature Lieutenant-
Governor-elect Fisk was administered the oath of office. On
assuming the president's chair the Lieutenant-Governor said:
"The most agreeable duty assigned me by the people of the
State of Vermont is that which brings me into official relations
with the Senate. At this, the commencement of the session,
I am forcibly reminded of the importance of the position we
occupy. On us is centered criticism as well as the good wishes
of our fellow Vermonters. I bring to the discharge of this
chair but little experience, and shall, therefore, be compelled
to rely largely upon that forbearance which has always charac-
terized the courtesy shown by the Senate to its presiding officer.
I indulge in the hope that the session upon which we are now
entering will result in such beneficial legislation as the people
have the right to expect and demand. My ambition is to so

Fisk, of Keesville, N. Y. She d. Oct., 1853. He resided in New York City,
where he was in business and on the advice of his physician decided to go to
a warmer climate. In 1849 he left for Chagres, Panama, where he engaged in
business, doing a -large trade with the California pilgrims or '49ers. His goods
he had taken with him to South America. His health being greatly improved in
the spring of 1850, he returned to New York City, where he remained until fall.
_He then returned to Chagres, taking his wife with him, and leaving his only child
in New York City with relatives. Not long after their arrival in Chagres, Mrs.
Fisk was taken dangerously ill with the "isthmus fever." The press of business
and care and anxiety for his sick wife proved too much for his nervous system.

after he had been taken on board the Hne steamer for New York City. His body

m. 2d, Aug. 20, 1856, Mrs. Betsey (Tuttle) Newell, d. May 24, 1873. He was the
oldest son of Ira Fisk; was born on Isle La Motte. Grand Isle Co., Vt, Oct. 26,
1815, of pious parents, and brought up in Chazy, Clinton Co., N. Y., after he was
2 years old. Was a steady, obedient, truthful, reliable, persevering, diffident,
courageous, religiously inclined boy, and never had a bad habit. He was called
to preach at 18, and yielded, after passing through great mental agony. A few
months after he entered the traveling ministry, and at the end of three years, with
others, in consequence of slavery in that church, united in organizing the anti-
slavery Wesleyan Methodist Connection, and was then, June 7, 1843, ordained
elder at Utica, N. Y., which position he still occupies. Alost of his life has been
spent in preparation and labor to benefit the human family. It has been in pastor-
ates, anti-slavery work, college agency, peace work against the horrid custom of
war. Some years have been spent in recovery of wasted energies, in excessive
work; also in efforts without financial success, though appearances were flattering,
to recover from losses that in appearance incapacitated to carry out a written
pledge, that in the end was to reach the establishment of a central point of mis-
sion work on heathen soil. Also in missionary work, pleading for the poor
heathen, in going to Jerusalem as missionary, where he had the pleasure of
seeing fifty Jews and one Arab seeking God, when there about two weeks. After
a few months he returned to America, to secure a few of the right kind of work-
ers, and means necessary. Persons have been secured, but there is delay in lack of
means. In the meantime he is holding missionary meetings, mostly in behalf

1828. She res. 700 Cumberland Ave., Knoxville, Tenn. He died very suddenly in
Daytona, Fla., of apoplexy. He was born in Clinton county, N. Y. His early
life was spent on a farm. He commenced the study of medicine at 20 years
of age and graduated from the Physicians' College of Aledicine, Philadelphia, Pa.,
in 1851. He practiced medicine in Au Sable, northern New York, for thirteen years
and then moved to Kalamazoo, Mich., where he was engaged in the active prac-
tice of his profession until a few days before his death. Dr. Fiske was one of the
prominent physicians in that city, having been an active practitioner for twenty-
eight years. He was in partnership for some years with the late Dr. H. O.
Hitchcock. He had been a prominent member of the Kalamazoo Academy of
Medicine since its inception. He always stood very high among his orofessional
brethren. Dr. Fiske was a member of the First Presbyterian Church. He was
an upright, straightforward citizen, and a good neighbor. His loss is one, says
the Kalamazoo paper, which will be felt not only by his immediate relatives and
friends, but also by the entire city and by his professional friends. Mrs. Fiske
is the only immediate member of his family who survives him, a daughter having
died some years ago, and his son, Arthur, about two j'ears ago. He d. Dec, 1891 ;

5, 1795; d. Nov. 16, 1864. He was a most successful farmer, carried on a very
large business. By his efforts he acquired farm after farm, and at one time
he owned thirteen hundred acres, all of which were connected. He had a wonder-
ful memory, kept all of his numerous accounts on tablets, and he never omitted
an item. In his time he was considered a rich man. His real estate was divided
among his sons and his personal property was left to the management of his
eldest living son. He was a member of the Universalist Church. His last ill-
ness was of short duration. He contracted a cold, which developed into pneu-
monia. One of his last wishes was that Cora Etta, then a babe of a few months
old, be brought to his bedside. The wish was granted, the dying old man patted
the child lovingly, and said: "I meant to have had many a good time with you,
but it has all gone by now." It was his request that he should be buried on his
own ground. A pretty plat within sight of the house, overlooking the pond,
was chosen. His wife, who died a short time before him, was buried there, also
his son Ephraim's first wife, Nancy Campbell. He d. Mar. 21, 1866; res. Lebanon,

S. Drew, b. Aug. 23, 1837. His father was an invalid from his earliest remem-
brance. His mother was the mainstay of the family. They owned thirty acres
of hilly, unproductive land. The mother did the work, with the help of the
children, outdoors and in. It was a struggle for the necessaries of life. She
took wool just as it was clipped from the sheep, worked it up on shares and from
her share carded by hand, spun, wove, cut and made up nearly all the clothing
that was used in the family during the 40's. His brother, Franklin, next younger
than he, was early accustomed to labor. He could not be spared to go to
school in the summer time, after he was 9 years of age. In the spring of 1852
they moved to Lowell, Mass., where the mother and all the children old
enough, found work in the factory. They remained in Lowell two years and
had much sickness. His oldest sister died and was buried in Lowell. In the
spring of 1854 his father bought another farm, and they moved back again to
Vermont. The boys were now old enough to do the most of the work re-
quired, and what was too hard they exchanged work, and got their neighbors
to do. Sept. 5. 1861. he enlisted in Company E., Second Regiment Vermont

He was married to ]Miss Angelina S. Drew, to whom he had been some time
engaged, while home on a furlough, in the winter of 1863. At the close of the
war he removed to a farm he had purchased in Kansas, where he contended with
drouth and chinch bugs till the spring of 1875. As opportunity offered, he held
meetings at different places near his home, and in the winter of 1875 was invited
to go to Freeborn to do home missionarj- work in the Congregational denomina-
tion here. In connection with Freeborn he has had several other points. He
has preached at Hartland, Berlin, Lemond, New Richland, Alden, Manchester,
Minnesota i-ake. Freedom, St. Clair and Janesville. He has been pastor of the
church at Freeborn over twenty years, at Freedom over twelve, Hartland eighteen,
and Manchester eight. He has received into the various churches by baptism and

moved to Bradford, where they remained for twenty-four years, he having a large

expedition before Port Hudson. In Au-
gust, the following year, was mustered
out of service and returned home to re-
sume his practice. In 1872, with his
family, he removed to Lowell, there to
engage in broader fields of usefulness.
He then entered the office, as an associate
of his old instructor, Dr. Savory; who had
preceded him many years. After a time
the partnership was dissolved and Dr.
Fisk continued the practice of his pro-
fession alone, winning for himself the
name and reputation of a skillful physi-
cian, second to none in that city. He was
a member of Ladd and Whitney Post, No.
185, G. A. R. ; Massachusetts Medical So-
ciety; Middlesex North District Medical
Society, at different times being president,
vice-president and counselor; was on the
medical staff of St. John's Hospital; ad-
visory board of Lowell Hospital; served
on the school board for a time; was chair-
man of the board of pension examiners
for twelve years; one of the board of
trustees of the Lowell Institution for Sav-
ings; was also an active member of the
Medical Journal Club, in which he took
much interest. After a residence of twen-
ty-two years in Lowell, he conceived
the happy thought of returning again
to Bradford, hoping to enjoy for a
few years the rest and quiet which his active life and close attention to his arduous
and trying profession so richly entitled him. "We have watched with interest and
pleasure during the past summer, the progress made in building and decorating the
new home. At last it was finished, and they were cozily settled. All were rejoiced
at their coming, and ready to stretch a welcoming hand across this gulf of many
years. Our fond anticipations were realized only a few days ago, the occasion
being the 70th anniversary of his birth. Congratulations and good wishes were
heartily extended by many and hopes expressed, that this happy couple might live
to reach their fifty years of wedded life, which seemed so near at hand; but, alas,
that was not so to be. It is easy to realize the sorrow and disappointment so
keenly felt by all, at his untimely death."
Possibly no young M. D. was ever more uniquely started upon his career
than was the doctor, when, in the winter of 1848, the western part of the town was
smitten with the scourge of small-pox. Even Dr. Ames, another physician, fell
a victim to the horrible disease. It was then that the boy, Dr. Fisk, came to the
rescue. Rising to the occasion he showed the stuff that was in him. He went into
quarantine with Bradford's afflicted townspeople, caring for and ministering to
them as physician and nurse, and coming forth from the ordeal with flying colors,
and the confidence and respect of the whole community. He was married just
previously, and he often laughingly remarked that this was his honeymoon, spent
among small-pox patients, as he was isolated for weeks from his then young bride.
The doctor's sense of humor carried him successfully through many a dark scene
and served to brighten many a dismal sick chamber. He had for many years
been much interested in ornithology, not only as a scientific study, but pleasant
pastime, and had, for a private one, a large collection of birds, which he enjoyed
showing and explaining to his friends. He d. Jan. 21, 1895; res. Lowell, Mass., and

He was a manufacturer in Adams, Mass.; was burned out, and as the business at
that time was unsatisfactory, he went to Brattleboro, his wife's home, and started
what he called a "traveling emporium." He had twenty teams and a salesman on
each one. His own team was very handsome; on it he drove four horses, a coach-
man in livery. He also had another four horse team, which was the "wholesale
wagon." In this way he traveled all over New England. Each Saturday every sales-
man reported to him, at a given place. His bookeeper was there, and, in fact, the
business was carried on then as the large stores are now in the city; everythingr
was systematized. He carried only silks and handsome shawls and wraps on his own
team; he had his regular customers all over the country, who waited for him, and
in many towns he would stay from two to three weeks. He was a very handsome
man, six feet two inches, and the "pink" of neatness; very careful about his dress,
and of a very elegant, courtly manner. His wife used often to say laughingly: "I
first met Mr. Fisk in a stage coach, and was attracted by his fine clothes and
noble bearing." He was a strong Prohibitionist, and built the Revere House in
Brattleboro and opened it, the first temperance house ever opened and kept in the
State of Vermont. After the death of his son he was ill for a year, in fact, out of
his head, made so by the shock of his sudden death. He was walking up Broad-
way and heard the newsboys crying the murder on the street. He fell uncon-
scious and remained so for twenty-four hours; he never saw his dearly loved boy
again. He recovered his mind, but never his health. He d. June 4, 1881 ; res. Brat-

St., New York, N. Y. On the third story of the Lotos club-
house there is a square, high cardroom, fronting on Fifth
avenue, and here, on his working mornings, Mr. Stephen Fiske
may be found seated at a table-desk writing "copy" for the
numerous papers to which he contributes. As he rises to
welcome the interviewer, he displays a large, stout, portly figure,
above the medium height — a strong, pleasant English face, with
frank, mischievous blue eyes and dark brown hair and mus-
tache tinged with gray. His manner is straightforward; his
voice clear and honest. He pushes aside his papers, offers
a box of choice cigars to his visitor, and, with a laugh and a
jest at the idea of a hunter being hunted, glances over my
notes and fills up the gaps in reply to my questions. "Yes,"
he says, in response to a remark about his surroundings, "hav-
ing seen many writers, from Dickens down, annoyed by the
absence of a particular chair, table, kind of pen or paper, I
have always tried to be independent of such fads, and can
write anywhere with equal facility. Give me a flat table and
the light on my left hand, and I am comfortable in any room
or company. I do not care to be alone; in fact, the talk of
people about me, so long as they don't whisper, is a sort of
inspiration. My writing is only a transcription and correcting
of phrases already formed in my mind, and, therefore, is very
rapid and seldom altered. But, if I have a choice, it is to write
in a printing office, with the presses rumbling below me, and
the printer's boy taking my pages as fast as I can scribble
them. There is no music for a writer like the rumble of the
press, and the jarring is like a series of beneficent electric
shocks." Stephen Fiske was born November 22, 1840, at the
little old Dutch city of New Brunswick, N. J., about thirty
miles from New York. His parents had moved out from
the metropQlis and settled there. His grandfather, Haley
Fiske, was a Judge, and a prominent leader of the Whig
party. His father was a partner in a large iron foundry. He
was educated at Rutgers College in his native city. As a
schoolboy, his compositions were published in the local pa-
pers. He commenced his paid contributions before he was
12 years old, and at 14 he was the editor of a small daily pa-
per, the Times, which, much enlarged, is still prosperous.
He used to hear his father laugh over his editorials while he
was afraid to avow their authorship; for his father was a Re-
publican in politics, and the Times was the Democratic organ.
The precocious journalist edited the Times during his col-
legiate studies. Before his year of graduation he contributed
to the College Magazine the opening chapters of a satirical
novel, called "Charles Herndon, a Modern American Student's
452 FISKE GENEALOGY.
Progress," in which the professors and their antiquated meth-
ods of teaching were keenly caricatured. The professors de-
manded his resignation; but the reforms which he had sug-
gested in his novel were carried out, and the caricatured pro-
fessors were soon retired, and the college thoroughly reor-
ganized. Alluding to this incident in a speech at the Del-
monico banquet of the Rutgers Alumni, Mr. Fiske said: "I
graduated, not exactly at the head of my class, but two years
ahead of it." Then, for the first time in his life, the venerable
President Campbell, D. D. and LL. D., was heard to laugh,
and the speech thus became historical. Stephen Fiske first at-
tracted attention outside of local circles by an article upon
"Sunshine," which was extensively copied and which a New
York paper accused him of plagiarizing from Dickens. The
works of Dickens were searched in vain, and the paper was
forced to apologize and explain that the writing was so like
Dickens' that the editor could not detect the difference. This
high compliment to a boy resulted in the departure of the
young writer for New York to seek his fortune. Horace
Greeley, his grandfather's friend, offered him a position upon
the Tribune; but he preferred to become a reporter upon the
Herald. In a few months he was promoted to be a special
correspondent, and in that capacity he accompanied the
Prince of Wales on his American tour, from Newfoundland
to Portland. He used the telegraph exclusively, and his des-
patches were published in the English papers a fortnight in
advance of the English correspondents' letters. At Niagara
Falls, he telegraphed to the Herald chapters of Matthews and
Revelations in order to hold the wires against all rivals, and
Jules Verne has adapted this incident in a well-known novel and
play. Afterwards he accompanied Abraham Lincoln, "The
Martyr President," in his memorable trip from Illinois to
Washington, and he relates with great glee the introduction
of Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln to Washington society. "Here,"
said Mr. Lincoln to the brilliant company assembled to greet
him at Willard's Hotel, "here is the long and the short of
the Presidency," and Lincoln bent his tall figure as he held
his little wife by the hand. In 1866 Mr. Fiske was an editorial
writer on the Herald and the editor of the Leader, a local
Democratic organ. He had produced a play at Wallack's, and
wrote regularly for Bonner's Ledger and the leading maga-
zines. Without hesitation he threw up all his engagements
to go with Mr. James Gordon Bennett on the Henrietta in the
first ocean yacht race which was sailed in December. The
Henrietta arrived at Cowes on Christmas day after a stormy
passage, and won the race. Hurrying up to London, Mr. Fiske
wrote a report of the race for the Times, and then cabled
a full account of it to the Herald. He refused to accept the
seventy-five guineas offered him by the Times for his report;
but the elder Bennett sent him a check for $1,000 by way of
compensation. This is the largest sum ever received for a
two-column article.
After a brief rest, Mr. Fiske was sent to Ireland to ex-
plode the Fenian conspiracy. He traveled over most of the
country on a jaunting-car, interviewed all the leading Fenians,
and cabled to the Herald not only the results of his investiga-
tions, but the editorials upon his reports, and the effect was that
the Fenian movement was thoroughly discredited in America.
From Ireland Mr. Fiske went to Paris to describe by cable
the opening of the Paris Exposition; to Buda-Pesth to witness
the coronation of the Emperor of Austria as King of Hungary;
to Rome, to picture in words the canonization of the Japanese
FISKE GENEALOGY. 453
martyrs; to Naples to see an eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, and to
Spain to report the war which threatened to break out with
England on account of the "Vittoria" affair. Subsequently he
went to Italy and took part in Garibaldi's campaign against
Rome, which was settled by the French chassepots. His were
the only despatches which came through from the seat of
war at that time, the other correspondents being locked up
in Rome, and they were recabled from New York to the Lon-
don papers. Settling down in London as the Herald corre-
spondent, Mr. Fiske became intimate with Charles Dickens,
Wilkie Collins, Charles Reade, and other literary celebrities.
One day, at Boucicault's the question was discussed whether
the art of writing in character was not lost. Mr. Fiske pro-
posed to write an article in the character of an American
Fenian, if Mr. Yates would publish it in Tinsley's magazine,
which he was then editing. The article, called "Ireland for the
Irish," created an immense sensation, the London journals
reviewing and denouncing it in elaborate leaders. Several
similar articles followed in the magazine and in the Pall Mall
Gazette, and the authorities searched Mr. Fiske's rooms, at the
Queen's Hotel, for incendiary documents. For the same maga-
zine Mr. Fiske wrote a series of papers called "English Photo-
graphs, by an American," dedicated by permission to Charles
Dickens. These were republished in book form; obtained a
wide popularity; were quoted in Parliament, and were so much
esteemed by Dickens that he carried the book with him on his
railway journeys, and "dipped in to it," as he said, constantly.
Mr. Fiske contributed several papers to All the Year Round,
and had arranged for the publication of his first novel in that
periodical, when the death of Dickens ended the project.
"English Photographs" is still a readable book, full of
suggestions of practical reforms, many of which have been
adopted. The advance sheets of it were published in Harper's
Magazine. With its profits Mr. Fiske purchased the Hornet, a
satirical paper with a small city circulation, and attempted to
open the way to what is now called society journalism. He
also edited and published the Home Journal, to which Miss
Braddon contributed a new novel, and a trade paper, called
the News Vendor. As if his hands were not full enough of
work, he undertook to manage the St. James' Theatre for
Mrs. John Wood, and succeeded in running "She Stoops to
Conquer" for 200 nights, and in delighting the town with
the humors of that best of burlesques, "La Belle Sauvage."
Afterward, he organized the Royal English Opera Company,
with Rose Hersee and Belle Cole as his prima donnas, and
sent out this troupe for a tour of Great Britain and Ireland. In
1874 Mr. Fiske returned to America and took charge of
the Fifth Avenue Theatre, New York, which he saved from
ruin and conducted for four years against the disadvantages of
hard times and an unpopular house. There he first introduced
to the public Mary Anderson, whom he advertised so boldly
as to command attention and success. 'T do not say that she
is a great actress," he remarked to an interviewer, "but it is
worth the money to see such a lovely girl." There, also, he
brought out Madame Modjeska, who, a failure on the first
night in "Adrienne," soon achieved an extraordinary success
in "Camille." In 1878 Mr. Fiske withdrew from the theatre
and returned to journalism, his first love. He accepted the
position of dramatic critic of the Spirit of the Times, and Col.
Buck, the editor and proprietor, made an engagement with
him for life. His work upon that paper is almost as well
known on the other side of the Atlantic as on this, so exten-
454 FISKE GENEALOGY.
sively is it read and quoted. Almost alone among writers in
English, he has made criticism a fine art. For two years he
was the editor-in-chief of the New York Star, and when he left
that paper it waned and died. Editors and compositors always
welcome his "copy," which is as clear as print, and, beneath
the plainest statement of facts, has a sub-acid of satire and
humor which precisely suits the tone of modern journalism.
He has published three books, "English Photographs," "Holi-
day Stories," and "Off-Hand Portraits," in which he predicted
Cleveland's election to the Presidency two years beforehand,
and he has produced "Martin Chuzzlewit" (Olympic), "Cor-
poral Cartouche" (Winter Garden). "My Noble Son-in-Law"
(Wallack's) and "Robert Rabagas" (London) dramatizations or
adapted plays, all very successful. In the prime of life, and with
enormous capacities for work, Stephen Fiske's future is likely
to be as varied and eventful as his past. "I used to think,"
he says, as he concluded the long chat from which these par-
ticulars have been gleaned, "that I had been everywhere and
seen everybody and everything; but the world renews itself
every year, and I often feel like beginning life all over again.
I have lived every minute of my time, and I find that the only
thing which really fatigues me is to stop and try to rest."
Nov., 1896, he is writing a series of articles of intense interest
on "The Personal Side of Dickens" for Tlie Ladies' Home

a university course and before he left the medical department of the university it
was found that he had extraordinary capacity as a surgeon. He is the author of

preached in all the Protestant churches of this city. He is not a pessimist but a

required. In addition to the common school education, he was allowed a few terms
at the Macedon Academy, to fit himself for teaching. He '"taught his first school"
while in his i8th year (1853-54), and continued in the profession until June, 1864,
when he resigned his position in the Canandaigua Academy to accept a position as
bookkeeper in the Bank of Ontario in Canandaigua. At the end of a year he was
made assistant cashier, and for a considerable time had charge of the bank, whose
business was large and the responsibility of his position great. He continued to
fill responsible positions in the banking line until the spring of 1874, having been
cashier of banking houses in Marathon, N. Y., Herkimer, N. Y., and Newark, N.
Y., and for three years held positions in the Merchants Savings, Loan & Trust-
Co. of Chicago, and the Traders National Bank of Chicago. In 1874 he went to
Buffalo and engaged in insurance business in partnership with Stephen F. Sher-
man. In October, 1875, he entered the office of Richard Bullymore as bookkeeper,
continuing in that capacity until December, 1878, when he resigned this position
to become cashier of the Buffalo Grape Sugar Co. He remained with this com-
pany and its successor, the American Glucose Company, until the summer of 1894,
nearly sixteen years. In April, 1894, the American Glucose Company's plant in
Buffalo was destroyed by fire, which resulted in the severing of his connection with
that cornpany. He now (1896) holds the position of chief bookkeeper in the office
of the Comptroller of the city of Buffalo. In politics he is a Republican, though
never taking active part in politics, except as a voter. As a proof of the regard
in which he is held, it may be said that in the several important financial positions
held by him, involving the handling and care of large sums of money, he was never
required to give bonds; res. 34 Fifteenth St., Buffalo, N. Y.

eldest son of Joseph and Fanny (Brown) Fisk who were among the pioneers that
helped to develop the northeastern part of Pennsylvania. He had four sisters and
one brother. His sisters with himself have all passed to the higher life. His
brother, Clark S. Fisk, lives at Morrison, 111. When Joseph was but ten years old
460 FISKE GENEALOGY.
his father died of consumption leaving a widow with six small children with very
limited means of support, therefore his chance for education was small. We do
not know that he ever attended school a day in his life, yet we take it for granted
that he must have done so some time somewhere, as he possessed a knowledge of
the three "R's." Soon after the death of his father Joseph went to live with his
uncle Washington Fisk in Vermont, making a trip of three hundred miles on foot
through the woods and over the mountains of Pennsylvania, New York and Ver-
mont, with his wardrobe in a bandana. When about 20 years old his uncle ad-
vised him to return to Pennsylvania and take possession of the farm his father had
settled on and this he did. Joseph W. Fisk and Rhoda E. Strickland were mar-
ried. Miss Strickland had been devoted to teaching school for nearly
eight years at the time of their marriage. With her superior education, active tem-
perament and ambitious energy, she brought to her husband the qualities he so
much needed. His judgment was sound and had he had the benefit of an educa-
tion he would have been a strong man. He had an acute ear for music and could
play almost any instrument. He was about six feet tall and well proportioned, in
his palmy days weighing two hundred and forty pounds. His family consisted
of twelve children, nine sons and three daughters, seven of whom are living, viz.:
Wilmot, Melvin, Calvin, Everett, Mrs. Harriet E. Emery, Theron and Alfred. In
i860 he built the Union Hotel at Niven, Pa. In 1861 was made postmaster of that
place, under Lincoln's administration, which office he held until he moved west in
1865. In the autumn of 1864 he went to Whiteside County, 111., and bought a farm
near where his brother and eldest sister (Mrs. Mary Champlin) lived. The fol-
lowing spring he moved his family there and continued the vocation of farming the
balance of his life. In his early life he was religiously inclined, but as his family
grew his son Calvin brought a class of free thought literature such as the "New
York Truth Seeker," Prof. John Fiske's "Unseen World." Paine's "Age of Rea-
son," Ingersoll's "Lectures," "Boston Investigator," etc., into his house, the read-
ing of which somewhat changed his mind on dogmatic theology. His faithful wife
died Mar. 8, 1887. This was a greater calamity than he could well bear, and three
years one month and two days later he followed her to their long home. He d.

N. H., Jan. 20, 1835. Albert Richard Ober Fiske was born in Beverly, Mass., on
what was then "Dodge's Row." His father, Abraham Fisk, was a farmer who
moved afterward to Beverly Cove where the children were brought up, helping
their father to pay for their home at the Cove, which was at the foot of Wood-
bury Street. The boys numbered five, all but the subject of this sketch following
the sea. Albert was apprenticed to learn the shoemaker's trade at the early age of
II years. He was courageous and active, and was early in life in business for
himself. Failing in this, his first endeavor, he became foreman cutter in the fac-
tory of Francis Dane in So. Danvers, after which he was a partner in the business,
having a separate factory on the corner of the "Square" and Chestnut Street. He
was in business with varying fortunes at this stand for many years, removing to
Wenham in 1870, eight miles away, where the workmen were mostly located, and
where he continued to do business for himself until the great Boston fire, which
swept away so many fortunes, so seriously impaired his business that he never
fully recovered from the blow. He struggled on, however, for several years, when
he was obliged to give up. He has lived since then in West Peabody, in Lynn and
in Beverly, where he now resides. Albert R. Fisk is much respected wherever
he is known, and is a man of sterling integrity, honest and incorruptible. In pol-
itics he was active in his younger days, serving two terms as Postmaster in So.
Danvers, under Democratic administrations. He was loyal to the Union during the
Civil War period, and though never joining the army, was a good friend of the sol-
dier at the front, and their waiting families at home. He married, in 1846, Eliza-
beth White Safford, of Salem, who was born in 1825. In Aug., 1879, this truest
of wives and fondest of mothers died. He subsequently married, at Lynn, Mrs.
Jennie Seavey, a friend and acquaintance of many years. They resided for a time
in Lynn, moving later to his native town of Beverly, where they live at 14 Home
Street; res. South Danvers, Mass., and 14 Home Street, Beverly.

b. Apr. 8, 1858. Mr. Fiske is a mechanical engineer and quite an expert in his
line. Last year he came very near losing his life while at work in Washington,
D. C, because of the carelessness of some individual unknown. In company with
several other workmen, Mr. Fiske, who is an erecting engineer in the employ of
the Providence Steam Engine Company, was engaged in fitting a portion of
one of the Greene engines connected with the multipolar generator which sup-
plies the motive power for the new electric system of propulsion being introduced
by the Metropolitan company. While standing on the axle of the immense fly
wheel, with his mind fixed on the work, Mr. Fiske was startled to feel that the
axle was revolving. In the hope of saving himself he jumped to a wooden beam
nearby, but it gave way with a crash, and the engineer was precipitated to the
bottom of the wheel pit. Before he could move he was dragged beneath the re-
volving wheel, the space between the same and the cement flooring being less than
one foot. In less time than it takes to tell it the unfortunate man had suffered
a compound fracture of the right leg, a lacerated wound on the left hand, con-
tusions of the back and shoulders and an abrasion of the left leg. A heavy iron
casting which fell at the same time as did Mr. Fisk was smashed. The wheel,
which had been set in motion by the shifting of a lever by some person among the
many spectators watching the erection of the engine, was quickly stopped, and
half a dozen of his fellow workmen lifted the injured man from his precarious
position. The fact that the man had been badly injured quickly spread about the
neighborhood, and in a few moments a surgeon with several members of the
ambulance corps reached the scene from the hospital of the Washington Bar-
racks, which is but half a block distant from the new power house. Several other
physicians were also summoned, but it was decided to send Mr. Fiske to the Emer-
gency Hospital. At the latter institution his injuries were attended to. Res.

(Greenwood) Sparhawk, of Brighton,
Mass. Charles Dudley Blake Fiske, sec-
ond son of Dudley Blake and Mary
Ann Ashton Fiske, was born at Hook-
set, N. H., Feb. 17, 1850. His father
died in 1851, leaving his mother desti-
tute, with two small boys, his brother,
William Francis, and himself. The first
seven years of his life were passed at
the home of his grandparents, in Lowell,
Mass., his mother working hard to earn
suthcient to care for her children. When
Charles was nearly 7 years of age, his
mother married an honest, hard work-
ing mechanic, who proved kind to the
children, but of a roving nature, conse-
quently Charles' early life was passed
in various places, remaining in each
hardly long enough to form any per-
sonal friends, and too short a time to ac-
quire an education. At the age of 11
he worked in the early morning on a
milk route, and in the evening sold pa-
pers on the streets of Providence, R. I.
Two years later he had a cheap jewelry
stand on Central St., Lowell, Mass., and
later, at the age of 15, worked in a pa-
per box factory. Again returning to
Providence, Mr. Fiske, at the age of 16,
drove a grocery order wagon. Realizing fully his ignorance, he attended a com-
mercial evening school for about a year, learning bookkeeping, and laying the
foundation for what knowledge he acquired later. Going to California at the age
of 18, he soon spent what little he had saved, and went to work laying track for
the Central Pacific Railroad at Sacramento, at $1.50 per day. After that he
worked in the car shops, building cars, and yet later secured a position as clerk
in the motive power department, at a salary of $1,500 a year, all the changes oc-
curring within a year from his arrival in California, although when he landed he
was an entire stranger to everybody. His last position carried him to the wilds
01 Nevada, where he mingled with the hardest set of men that could be gathered
together from the four quarters of the globe. There might was law, and pistols
and knives settled many a dispute. He dabbled in mines more or less, and be-
came interested in a patent, which he thought would make his fortune. He re-
turned East in 1871, soon became stranded, and was compelled to begin life anew
as entry clerk in a large clothing house of J. B. Barnaby & Co., of Providence, R.
I., at a salary of $6 per week. A year later he entered the employ of the Howe
Sewing Machine Company, as bookkeeper; became their temporary general agent of
Rhode Island and Connecticut, settled up their broken busines and returned as
head bookkeeper of the said clothing firm. In 1874 he went to Portland, Me., and
opened a clothing store under the name of C. D. B. Fiske & Co., being backed
by J. B. Barnaby & Co., his former employers. In 1879 Mr. Fiske was elected
to the common council of Portland, and in 1880, was elected president of that
body. In 1881 he removed to Boston, and opened a much larger store, under
the name of J. B. Barnaby & Co. In 1893, as Mr. Barnaby had died, the business
was sold, and in April of the same year, taking a partner, he opened a very large
store as Fiske & Gof¥, clothiers. Since then the firm added a store in Portland,

title of master changed to that of lieu-

moted to lieutenant Jan. 26, 1887. On
Feb. 15, 1882, he married Josephine
Harper, daughter of Mr. Joseph W.
Harper, head of the publishing firm of
Harper & Brothers. On Oct. i, 1882,
obtained leave of absence for one year,
to study electricity. During this year
he wrote "Electricity in Theory and
Practice." which Van Nostrand pub-
lished. This book in 1895 was still sell-
ing, in its tenth edition. On duty in
Bureau of Ordnance, Navy Department,
from Oct., 1883, to Oct., 1885. During
this time, i. e. in Oct. and Nov., 1884,
was member of International Conference
of Electricians at Philadelphia, and also
was detailed in charge of the Naval Ex-
hibit at the International Electrical Ex-
hibition; made cruise in U. S. S. Atlanta,
the 'first modern cruiser of the United
States Navy, from July, 1886, to Dec,
1888. During this cruise invented elec-
trical range finder for measuring dis-
tances at sea and in forts. This instru-
ment is now in use in the principal ships
of the navy,; carried on, also, while on
this cruise a number of experiments
in electrically signalling through the
water and the air. Up to the
present time these experiments have
not borne fruit in the shape of practical apparatus. From Dec, 1888, to
Nov., 1890, engaged in shore duty in New York and Philadelphia, and also perfect-
ing in leisure moments the range finder. In Oct., 1890, received a year's leave,
most of which spent in Europe with wife and daughter. In Oct., 1891, ordered to
U. S. S. Yorktown and went in her to Chile; was in Valparaiso during the height
of the crisis there, under the command of Captain R. D. Evans (Fighting Bob),
whose conduct during the episode gained so much honor for himself, his ship,
and the United States; went from Chile, after the crisis had passed, to Bering Sea,
and spent the summer in the Yorktown, then flagship of the patrol fieet for sup-
pressing seal poaching. In July, 1893, the Yorktown being then at New York,
was transferred to the Flagship San Francisco. Shortly after this, the San Fran-
cisco was ordered to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to watch over American interests dur-
ing the rebellion of the navj', under Admirals Mello and da Gama against the
government; was on board the San Francisco, under Admiral Benham, when that
gallant admiral cleared his fleet for action and forced the Brazilian navy to agree
to the just demands of the United States. After the conclusion of hostilities, the
San Francisco was ordered to Bluefields, Nicaragua, to protect American interests
in the triangular dispute going on between England, Nicaragua and the Mosquito
Indians; detached from the San Francisco in Oct., 1894. During this cruise per-
fected range finder, and invented new form of position finder; invented also stad-
imeter, range telegraph, helm indicator, steering telegraph, telescope sight, elec-
tric telescope-sighting-system, and electric engine-telegraph. At the present mo-
ment, the range finder has been adopted by the navy and is placed in all the new
ships; the stadimeter has proved a complete success in service and is being sup-
plied to all the ships. The range indicator, helm indicator, steering telegraph and
electric engine telegraph have passed successful tests in service at sea, and are
being installed in the new battleships. The telescope sight is being tested now in
various ships. In the summer of 1895 invented electric lachometer for continu-
ously indicating on the f:)ridge of a ship the direction and speed of revolution of the
ship's engines. This instrument is now undergoing a test in service on board the

3271. PROF. FRANKLIN PROCTOR FISK (Franklin W., Ebenezer,
Ebenezer, William, Ebenezer, William, William, John, William, Robert, Simon,
Simon. William, Symond), b. Chicago, 111., Oct. 27, 1857; m. Dec. 27, 1881, Kath-
erine Tanner, of Rockford, 111. She was born in Wisconsin, but when quite
young moved with her parents to Rockford. 111., where she always resided. When
12 years of age she entered the Rockford College, where she graduated in 1881,
only six months before she was married tc Frank Fisk. Very soon after remov-
ing to Chicago, she began her musical career as a pupil of Miss F. A. Roots, and
she thdre enlisted the interest of Professor Tomlins, who was her next teacher.
After much solo work, Mrs. Fisk sought the advice and guidance of Mrs. S. H.
Eddy, who admired her wonderful voice, but said that she must give years to
study before she could expect to do much with it. She accepted the verdict, and
studied for four years intently under Mrs. Eddy. From that time she became the
most popular singer in the West. She soon determined to go to London, and
having been heard by Mr. Daniel Mayer, was induced to sign a three years' en-
gagement with him. After her arrival there she studied French and German songs
under Mr. Henschel and Mr. Blume and passed her oratorios with Signor Ran-
degger, making her debut at St. James' Hall at the close of 1892. Her success
was such that before the end of January, 1893, she had been heard in that hall four-
teen times, as well as at the Crystal Palace, Albert Hall and the London Sym-
phony Concerts. After a short visit to her native country she returned to Lon-
don, which will be her headquarters, though she will sing throughout Europe.
In private life Mrs. Fisk is as charming as she is in her professional, for she is
singularly gifted both mentally and physically, has most excellent taste in dress,
speaks French fluently, and has a good knowledge of German and Italian. The
rise to her position as one of the leading American contraltos is really a record
of labor, perseverance and patience. Prof. Fisk was born in Chicago and in referring
to him the Post says: "Abreast of the times, keeping along with all requirements
at the recognized Chicago pace, is the Northwest Division high school, at Poto-
FISKE GENEALOGY. 473
mac Avenue and Davis Street. Dominated by the idea that sound practical sense
and reason may be drilled into the young as well as Greek, Latin, mathematics
or history, and possessed of a curriculum which is far more elaborate and attractive
than that of a large number of the small colleges in the West, this Chicago school
is growing in popularity, and has come to be the ideal school for the thousands of
children who live in the northwest section of the city. The pride which Principal
Franklin B. Fisk takes in his school is indeed pardonable. He has stamped his indi-
viduality indelibly on the institution over which he presides and the credit of it all is
his, to have and to hold. Northwest Division high school is now a little more than
six years old and it is a prodigy. Seven hundred scholars attend it regularly and
nineteen teachers assist Mr. Fisk in their instruction. Studying is a business un-
der ]\Ir. Fisk's regime. His pupils go to school to learn, and not simply to be
where they cannot annoy their parents for a day. The hours in school are short,
only one session being held from 9 o'clock a. m. to 2 o'clock p. m., with a half-
hour for luncheon and a whispering recess of five minutes. The best of order is
maintained in the class and recitation rooms, and nothing distracts the attention of
any pupil. To describe Northwest Division high school, its rooms, its depart-
ments and its course of study would be simply going over old ground. It is a
complete school from alpha to omega, and it is a great institution. It fills a place
in Chicago's educational facilities which no man attempts to dispute and it affords
children who would be compelled to stop with finishing at the graded schools an
opportunity for a higher education, which they and their parents most assuredly
appreciate. It is asserted that at least thirty per cent of the seven hundred pupils
in the school would have been compelled to go to work for a living this fall had
not Mr. Fisk's school been available, simply because their parents couldn't afford
to send them to a college or a university. And an education means more than dol-
lars and cents to the average child of school age. As an example of the plan upon
which Mr. Fisk conducts this school one scene in the big gymnasium in the base-
ment may be thus described: Thirty girls, of all sizes and forms, dressed in blue
trousers, very full, blouses of the same material, stockings to match and light
shoes, romping and racing, jumping, leaping, laughing, swinging on ropes hung
from the ceiling, with rings attached, turning on the horizontal bar, climbing lad-
ders, their feet higher than their heads half the time and every mother's daughter
of them ruddy-faced and seemingly not exhausted. No unseemly behavior, no
rough jesting, no false modesthood. Just healthy girlhood effervescent." Res. s. p.

has always had a large and successful medical practice up to his 8oth year. He
was an early abolitionist and a contemporary of Garrison, Phillips and others. He
is an independent free thinker and fully believes in nature's laws and that cause
and efifect govern and control the universe. The old doctor was made a Freemason
in Pittsburg the night he was 21 years of age; he was loyal all through the turbulent
times of Morgan and has long been a Knight Templar and a 33d degree Mason.
There have been but few men of his pluck and nerve and strength of blood, strong
perceptions, reasoning powers, readiness in debate, conversational gifts and ex-
temporaneous speech. When he departs from this existence he will be long re-
membered as a man of remarkable personal character and ability, of a tender and
sensitive nature, a lover of science and art, poetry, music, and all that is grand
and glorious in life; res. Greenfield, Mass.

Aug. 22, 1825; m. June 23. 1867, Rosanna Wagoner, b. Oct. 19, 1840. He at-
tended with his brother the free schools at Cincinnati, and with his mother, in 1834,
went east and visited relatives. While there the house was burned in Cincinnati.
When they returned home in the fall they were three weeks coming down the
Ohio River from Wheeling, W. Va. to Cincinnati, on a canal boat, for the river
was so low that the steamboats could not run. They all came to Illinois in 1835,
arriving at Havana, Aug. 7, being delayed by Eli C. having the small-pox. His
father brought a steam engine to put up a saw mill, but not having the necessary
capital, he sold out, but put up the mill for them; then moved on the farm in Aug.,
1837, Eli C. now lives on. In Oct., 1842, a team ran away with him and harrowed
him under; he has been a cripple, and walks with a cane, ever since. He at-
tended school two or three quarters while living in Havana, and three while on
the farm. In 1847 he entered the preoaratory department of Illinois Col^ge.
Graduated in 1852. He colported for the American Tract Society one vacation,
and another for the American Sunday School Union. His labors were in Mason
Co., 111., and organized Sunday schools in nearly every schoolhouse in the
FISKE GENEALOGY. 487
county. He read theology with Rev. A. Hale, of Springfield, 111. He preached
his first sermon Oct. 12, 1856. Ordained Feb. 20, 1858 as pastor of the Mason
Congregational Church, which he was the means of forming. He resigned Dec,
1859; preached for more than two years after, and supported himself. Finally the
disloyal element became so defiant that he held many meetings throughout Mason
and other counties in favor of the Union. He has been persecuted by that dis-
loyal element ever since. In order to meet them, he studied law, so that the legal
I)rinciples involved could be used by him in the controversy. He was admitted to
the bar in Mar., 1868. He rarely practices, for he would rather have a clear conscence
than the best legal reputation in the State. He has followed farming ever smce
he resigned the pastorate of the church, contnuing on the old homestead. His
marriage has been crowned with seven children, four daughters and three sons He
has continued on the farm, and by successful crossing and interbreeding, produced
the "Fisk" corn, both white and yellow. He is and has been the president of the
Mason and Fulton Counties' Old Settlers' Society for nearly two years; been
school treasurer quite a number of years, until he resigned; eight years notary
public; got the Mason County Farmers' Institute on its feet, then resigned its
secretaryship. He has been engaged in quite a number of other things, but never

Haddam, Conn., Apr. 12, 1823. She now res. in Southington. Conn.; is a dau.
of Rev. Isaac and Sarah (Budd) Parsons. He was born in Wales, Mass., formerly
a part of Brimfield. His father was a farmer and he passed his early years in the
customary round of duties pertaining to the life of a farmer's boy. When he was
12 j^ears old he was converted and very soon formed the plan of getting an edu-
cation. His father gave him his time and he went to Northampton where he
was employed in a mill vintil he was able to enter Monson Academy. From there
he went to Amherst College, from which he graduated in 1840. After teaching for
two years at Salem, N. J., he entered the Theological Institute of Connecticut,
then at East Windsor, from which he graduated in 1845. While pursuing a post-
graduate course he was called to assist in evangelistic meetings at East Haddam,
where he met and won for his wife, Miss Harriet M. Parsons, the daughter of
the honored and beloved pastor of the East Haddam church for forty years. Rev.
Isaac Parsons. There he was ordained May 19, 1847, and there, upon the same day
he was married, the wedding ceremony following the ordination exercises. He
immediately went to Wisconsin, as a home missionary, under the Connecticut
Home Missionary Society. There his first child was born, and there too, in
those western wilds, it was buried. His wife's health failed and he returned to
the east and was installed pastor of the church in ^larlborough, Nov. 8, 1850.
Here he remained seven years. From this place he went to Canton, where he
Avas installed Feb. 2. 1858. While at Canton the excitement over the anti-slavery
controversy reached its height and preferring not to remain where the church
seemed likelv to be somewhat broken up by it he resigned and removed with his
family to East Haddam. His wife's aged parents were still living and greatly
needed his care. There he remained several years, but removed to Colchester
where he taught in Bacon .Academy There he had a severe attack of pneumonia.
His health improved somewhat, and he again entered upon pastoral work, first
at Barkhamsted, for nine months, and then at Wolcott, for three years. But
the labor of a pastor's life proved too great for his failing health, and having pur-
chased a farm at Charlton. Mass., he removed to that place, where he lived very
quietly for twelve years. At the end of that period his health had so far declined

that he was unable to even superintend the small farm which he owned. He sold it
and removed to Southington, where his oldest son is a physician. There he lived
for three years, slowly yielding to consumption: and there he fell asleep at the
ripe age of 70. So ended a quiet, unobtrusive, successful life. Mr. Fiske's most
prominent characteristic, perhaps, was faithfulness. Possessed of none of those
elements which the world calls brilliant, never attracting attention by anything
in any degree sensational, his ministry was successful because it was faithful. Mr.
Fiske was a conservative man, emphatically a man of the "old school." He
was interested in all the questions of the day, and had very decided convictions
upon them all. He kept track in his sick room of all the current themes of the
pulpit and the press, and talked with intelligence upon them. But he clung
with ardent devotion to the belief and customs of the fathers. His convictions
were the result of honest and earnest thought and he did not yield them to
any one. He d. Apr. 17, 1887; res. Marlboro, Conn.

i860; d. Mar. 9, 1885. He was born in Belvidere, 111., where he was educated at
the public schools and at Waverly, la. Later he taught school and worked in a
drug store. In the Iowa Congressional District, represented by Hon. D. B. Hen-
derson, young Fiske passed a successful competitive examination, both mental
and physical, and was appointed to a West Point cadetship in 1873. While at
school he was studious and at his graduation was number two in the large class.
Captain Fisk is an officer of large experience, having been in charge of a number
of important government works in various parts of the country. He graduated
at the United States military school in June, 1877, and was assigned to the corps of
engineers. He was on duty at the United States engineer school at Willets Point,
N. Y., until September, 1880, when he was detailed as assistant to Gen. Q. A. Gil-
more, and, under him, had local charge of United States river and harbor im-
provements in Florida until Feb., 1882. He started during that time the jetties
both at Cumberland Sound, Georgia and Florida, and at the mouth of the St.
John's River, Florida. These are important works, one of the jetties at the St.
John's River being 9,400 feet in length, and the other 6,800. They are now doing
good work, and have materially benefited the navigation of the river, up which
deep-draught steamers ascend about 100 miles. Captain Fisk was assistant to
Major S. M. Mansfield, corps of engineers, at Galveston, Tex., from Feb., 1882,
to Oct., 1884, on United States river and harbor improvements in Texas, assisting
during that time in making various hydrographic surveys of different harbors.
From Oct., 1884, to Aug., 1885, he acted as secretary and disbursing officer of the
Missouri River Commission, with immediate charge of the surveys of the ]\Iis-
souri River from Fort Benton, Mont., to its mouth. From Aug., 1885, to Aug.,
T887, he was assistant professor of civil and military engineering at the United
States Military Academy, and during September and November acted as assistant
in the office of the chief of engineers, LTnited States Army, at Washington, D. C.
From Nov., 1877, to Feb., 1891, he was at New Orleans, in charge of United States
river and harbor improvements in Louisiana, south of Red River, except the ^lis-
sissippi River above the head of the passes and the upper end of the Alchafalaya.
He had charge of the construction of about three miles of jetties at Sabine Pass,
and reported upon "the depth and width of a channel secured and maintained by
jetties at the mouth of the Mississippi River," upon which payments were made
to the Eads estate, and as engineer of the seventh and eighth lighthouse districts
had charge of the erection of eight lighthouses. From Feb., 1891, to Oct., 1892,
Captain Fisk was stationed at Duluth, Minn., in charge of United States river and
harbor improvements on Lake Superior, except the Portage lake and Lake Superi-
or ship canals, having charge of important harbor improvements at Duluth, Su-
perior, Marquette, Ashland and elsewhere. From Oct., 1892, to Nov., 1895, he

was at the United States engineer school, Willet's Point, N. Y.. in command of
Company A, Battahon of Engineers, United States Army, and instructor in elec-
tricity and torpedo service, or, technically, of "submarine mining." Since going
from Willet's Point to Portland, Ore., Captain Fisk has had charge of all river
and harbor improvements in Oregon, Washington and Idaho, and is also engineer
of the thirteenth lighthouse district; res. Willet's Point, N. Y., and Portland, Ore.

He was born in the good old city of Boston and has clung very fondly to it ever
since his birth. His school days, preparatory to his college life, were passed at that
well known Boston institution named Chauncy Hall school, where he was fitted
for college, entering Harvard in the year 1858, without condition and giaduating
in the class of 1862; was a member of the famous Hasty Pudding Club. On Sept.
29, 1862, he enlisted as a private in the Forty-first Regiment. Massachusetts Volun-
teers, commanded by Col. Thomas Chickering, of piano fame. He was with the
Forty-first as Commissary Sergeant until its departure to the Department of the
Gulf, and just on the day of its departure received a commission as Second Lieu-
tenant in that regiment, and was ordered to report for staff duty to Brigadier-
General George L. Andrews, then in command of the remainder of the Banks expe-
dition, with headquarters in New York City. With the last regiment composing
the expedition, he sailed with General Andrews and stafif for New Orleans early in
1863; was present during the whole of the memorable siege of Port Hudson, La.,
and with General Andrews was one of the first to enter that desolated place on
the morning of its surrender; was placed in charge of General Gardner, one of its
bravest defenders, and assisted in the parole of its other defenders. After its
evacuation he remained at Port Hudson on garrison duty. He visited Vicksburg
after its surrender, carrying dispatches to General McPherson, then in command
at that point. He narrowly escaped capture as bearer of dispatches to General
Smith at the beginning of the Red River campaign, ascending the river in a small
steamer within a few miles of Fort De Russey before the expedition had made its
start up the river, meeting General Smith the following morning with his com-
mand at the entrance to the river. On Oct. 27, 1863, he was commissioned First
Lieutenant in the Forty-first Massachusetts Volunteers, and in Apr., 1864, visited
the north with General Andrews, who was on sick leave. On July 12, 1864, was
commissioned by President Lincoln as Paymaster of United States Army and
ordered back to the Department of the Gulf with headquarters at New Orleans.
On Oct. I, 1864, he resigned his commission as Paymaster owing to ill health, and
returned north; but owing to severe malaria contracted in the service, was obliged
in Feb., 1866, to visit the Azores, and remained at Fayal, and St. Michaels at the
Hot Springs until June, when he returned home. On his return he entered the
employ of the Merchants' Union Express Company and during the last thirty

years has remained in the same business, now the American Express Company,
having had for several years during that period charge of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s
banking business until they withdrew that part of their business from Boston. He
is at the present time, and has been for many years, a member of the Massachusetts
Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion, and for several years
past has been treasurer of the Parish of All Saints, Dorchester (Boston) ; res.

-and was born in Worcester. He graduated at Harvard University in 1818, and
after pursuing his studies for the practice of medicine, removed to the town of
Hingham. His father will be remembered as the founder and proprietor of the
first, and for many years the only, nursery of fruit and ornamental trees in the
•country, and to whom in the first instance, this city is indebted for so much of the
rural beauty which distinguishes it. Dr. Fiske inherited his father's taste and pas-
sionate love of nature. Before leaving permanently his native place, he originated
-and helped to execute a work, for which present and future generations of our cit-
izens will bless his memory, although few perhaps may know even the name of
their benefactor. Those beautiful rows of shade trees which line and adorn our
Main, Front and Park Streets, were chiefly planted by an association of young
men, then pursuing their legal and medical studies in the town, among whom Dr.
Fiske was the most active. Frequently in later years has he pointed out to the
writer of this notice an elm or ash or maple which his own hands had planted,
that others might enjoy the shade thereof. In his adopted home, the same refined
taste and public spirit have ever characterized him. The conversion of the old
neglected town burial ground, which had been used for more than 200 years, into a
beautiful, romantic, well kept rural cemetery, a task so difficult of accomplishment
that it has scarcely in any other instance been undertaken, the embellishment of his
own home, furnishing motive and incentive to like efforts by others, the educa-
tional and other institutions of the town, the blessings of the poor to whom he
ministered, and the respect of all, are proof of the good works, and monuments to
the memory of the 'Good Physician.' " He d. May 8, 1866; res. Hingham, Mass.

groceries and other commodities and sold them in Lenox to the Indians and set-
tlers. Later he established a store, finally two stores, one at Oneida Lake. He
formed a partnership with a Mr. Howlan-l (Howland & Fiske), burned the woods
in that section to procure the ashes to manufacture potash. He did a successful
business for fifty years, and was known as Major Fiske, one of the Inspector-Gen-
erals of the State of New York. He was elected to several political offices, but the
latter years of his life he was a private banker and broker, under the firm name of
William E. Fiske & Son. He died at Canastota. William E. Fiske was a man
of character and ability, of the strictest integrity; while delicate and modest he never
failed to stand by his opinion. He was a strong anti-slavery man; his house was a
station on the underground railroad. He was also a strong temperance man and
organized the first temperance society in his county. He wrote and lectured for
the cause, and his writings and lectures were pronounced fine. He died beloved
and respected by all those who knew him. He d. Nov. 23, 1873; res. Lenox

Weston, Sept. 8, 1792; m. Apr. 8, 1818, Martha Stearns, b. Oct. 19, 1787, dau. of
Isaac, of Ashburnham; d. Oct. 2, 1868. Sewall Fiske was born on the old farm
at Weston, and lived and died there. The old English custom has been observed
by our ancestors from the first settlement at Weston of passing the land from;
father to son, and there has been no intervention. He was a farmer all his life,
and in addition conducted upon the farm a store with a partner and employes, he
buying all goods for the same. That was before the days of railroads, and they made a
great deal of business by buying out countrymen who were on their way to Boston
loaded down with poultry, turkeys, geese, ducks, chickens, etc. They came in
droves in the winter time, utilizing the sleighing, and as the great highway through
Massachusetts from Vermont and New Hampshire passed through the farm it
gave many opportunities for speculation. In the fall he would remain in Boston
from Monday morning to Saturday night engaged in disposing of this produce
thus purchased from the northern farmers.
He commanded, in 1812, a company of infantry that, in connection with one
other company, "The Ancient and Honorable Artillery of Boston," was called
out by the State of Massachusetts to defend the arsenal at Watertown. The Bos-
ton company is still in existence. They both received their charter from George
III. when Massachusetts was an English colony. He was a strong Whig. He was
a delegate to the National Convention in Baltimore when Henry Clay was nomi-

nated. He and his wife were Congregationalists, members of the church in Lin-
coln, two and one-half miles from home. Every Sabbath two teams were em-
ployed in carrying the family to church, where the day was spent, and the long
sermons of forenoon and afternoon listened to.
He was for many years prominent among his townsmen, and was many times
elected as Selectman, Assessor and Tax Collector, as well as other town duties.

Newcastle, Me., for a year. He was
chosen tutor at Dartmouth in 1818,
which post he held two years, and was
graduated at Andover Theological Sem-
inary in 1823. In November of that
year he was ordained as an evangelist,
and went to Savannah, Ga., to preach
among the seamen and others not be-
longing to any church. In April, 1824,
while yet in Savannah, he declined an
invitation to supply the pastorate in
Concord, N. H., during the session of
the Legislature, and on the same day
he declined the solicitation to rep-
resent the American Foreign Mission
Board as a missionary to Palestine or
to China. He was also offered the pro-
fessorship of mathematics and natural
philosophy in Middlebury College, Vt.,
but declined it, and became professor
of Latin and Greek in Amherst in 1824,
addmg to his duties as instructor the department of belles-letters from 1825
till 1833, and from 1833 till 1836 was professor of languages (including the modern)
at Amherst. He was transferred to the chair of intellectual and moral philosophy,
and held it from 1836 till the time of his death. In 1846, on account of failing
healtli, he visited Palestine, where he died, and was buried in Jerusalem on
Mount Zion. He was the father of the author Helen Hunt Jackson (q. v.) He

female seminary. In October, -1852, she married Capt. Edward
B. Hunt. Slie had become known as a contributor to periodi-
cal literature, under the signature of "H. H.," when in October,
1875, she married William S. Jackson, and thereafter spent
much of her time in Colorado Springs, where her husband was
a banker. She became actively interested in the treatment of
the Indians by the U. S. Government in 1879, and strove to
better the condition of that race. In 1883 she was appointed
special commissioner to examine into the condition of the
Mission Indians of California, and while thus engaged she
, studied the history of the early Spanish missions. From her
death-bed she wrote to the President a pathetic appeal with

was Isaac Fiske, and his mother Sukey (Hobbs) Fiske. He was educated at the
Framingham Academy, and graduated from Harvard in 1825. He practiced law in
Boston all his life. He lived in Boston until about 1848, when he
moved back to Weston, still retaining his office in Boston. He was
FISKE GENEALOGY. 501
one of the leaders of the bar of his time. His wife was Hannah
Rogers Bradford, a daughter of the late Capt. Gamaliel Bradford, of Bos-
ton, formerly of Duxbury, Mass. Mr. Fiske's learning as a lawyer was large
and always ready for use, his judgment was prompt and sound, his instincts rarely
at fault. His industry was untiring, and his executive talent so great that he des-
patched without aid and without apparent efifort an amount of business detail which
would seem incredible to any one who had not witnessed it. His sagacity in mat-
ters of business as well as in what pertained directly to his profession was remark-
able. There are few of our merchants and business men who have not had
occasion to appreciate and profit by it. With these qualities, and with a genial tem-
per, a hearty manner, and a devotion to the interests of his clients, which even
on his deathbed never let him spare himself, it is not surprising that he reached
a position in his profession to which there are few parallels, and enjoyed more
of the substantial fruits of success than has perhaps ever fallen to the lot of any
other member of the Boston bar. He d. Mar. 22, 1864; res. Weston, Mass.

92. He was born in Mass. and moved to Kentucky in 1817. He went by water
to Boston, Mass., and from there overland in a "C" spring coach. He was a man
of means when he left Boston, but in exchange for $40,000 in gold — quite a for-
tune in those days — he took bills on a Detroit. Mich., bank. On his arrival in
Cincinnati, Ohio, he learned that the Michigan bank had burst and he was with-
out much ready cash. His daughter Hannah had the bills in her possession for
a long time. While residing in Maine he owned what was known in those days
as the "Owls Head," a celebrated point on the coast of Maine. He resided at
Camden and Thomaston, Me. He was a Mason in high standing and on his re-
moval to Kentucky organized a blue lodge. He died of "milk sickness," a dis-
ease not known much nowadays. He was a very large man and weighed 260
pounds. He purchased 1,000 acres of land which was left to the family on his
death. He d. about 1835; res. Camden, Me., Readfield, Ohio, and , Ky.

Woodland. He was instrumental in the erection of the Hesperian College there.
The last twenty years he has resided in San Francisco, in which place he com-
manded the respect and esteem of every one familiar with his eventful career, being
a member of the board of health and school director. The doctor began the prac-
tice of medicine when he was 18 years of age. For a long time he was employed

He was born in Norwich, Conn., and when four years of age moved with his
parents to Jackson, Mich. Later he returned east and for some time was in
Wrentham and Sturbridge, and afterward at Kingston, Mass. At each of these
places he learned something of the business methods which, in a few years, were
to prove so beneficial to him in his business career. Finding but few chances
open to him in the east, he decided to go west again. For a few years he was
in Madison, Ind., later at Aurora, 111., finally locating in Ottawa, in the same State,
in 1856. There he has resided for nearly half a century, honored and respected
by the entire community. He has been in the manufacturing business; also mer-
chant tailor. In 1889 he visited California, and with his family traveled over the
Continent of Europe, sojourned at Rome, Naples, Alexandria and Cairo. Took
a trip up the Suez Canal. In 1892, with his family, he took a trip around the
world, spending some time in the Sandwich Islands, in Japan, Yokohama, Canton,
St. Petersburg, Spain, and other countries. He has never held public office but
once, which he considers amplv sufticient; res. Ottawa, 111.

trade in Philadelphia, which offered opportunity for satisfying these inclinations.
Developing a talent for the business, he formed, together with John Dobson and
Frank H. Keen, the wool house of Louis S. Fiske & Co., which is a most promi-
nent, successful and progressive firm. Is a member of prominent associations,
including Board of Trade, Trades League, Union League, New England Society

Brownsville, Jefiferson County, N. Y, He was the second son in a list of eight
brothers. At an early age he went with his father, Sylvanus Fisk, to Genesee
County, N. Y. While a boy he learned the carpenter and joiner's trade but did
not work at it more than a small portion of his early manhood. At the age of
19 he settled on a portion of what was known as the Poultney heirs' tract of land
in the town of Stafford; married at 21 and lived on it or another tract adjoining
which he came in possession of later, all his remaining days. Early he made
an agreement — articled — for his holdings at $5 per acre, and for more than
twenty years he labored under that article, paying six per cent, compound interest.
In the meantime he had cleared it and so improved it that it would readily sell
at about $100 per acre; besides he had cared well for his family and indulged his
hospitality and generosity largely. He refused $100 per acre for his farm by telling
the man who offered it, "If it is worth that to you it is to me. I made it to live on
and die on," and he did, at the age of 86 years. He d. in 1888; res. Stafford, N. Y.

2d, Apr. 10, 1878, Ellen M. Frink, b,
Apr. 12, 1850, in Urbana, Ohio. Solon
Fisk was born in Albany, Orleans Coun-
ty, Vt. The first twenty years were
spent in Vermont, living in Albany,
Brookfield, 'Bethel (with his grand-
father), Montpelier, Berlin, Royalton,
Hancock and Castleton; taught school
four successive winters, beginning with
the winter of 1842-43. At the close of
his fourth school, in the spring of 1846,
he went to Massachusetts, learned trade
of machinist, working in Lowell, Bos-
ton, Annam and Charlestown, mostly on
locomotive engines. In 1849 he re-
moved to Concord, N. H., working as
machinist for Northern Railroad Com-
pany. Li 1850 he became a locomotive
engineer, and as such helped to build the
Vermont & Canada Railroad, living in
Milton and St. Albans, on the line of that
road. In 1851 and 1852 he lived in Bur-
lington, Vt., engineer of all passenger
trains between Burlington and Essex
Junction, six miles out. In 1853 he was
employed on new locomotive engines by
the Amoskeag Manufacturing Com-
pany, in Manchester, N. H. In 1854
went to Zanesville. Ohio, and was
employed there for four years in various
capacities on Central Ohio Railroad, Co-
lumbus to Bellaire, as assistant master of machinery (at Bellaire), conductor, en-
gineer, and finally contractor, to furnish this Central Ohio Railroad with wood, at
that time used exclusively as fuel for locomotives, which contract he held for two
years (and more). Then quitting railroading forever, as he thought, he read law, and
was admitted to practice at Newark, Ohio, but belonged to the bar of Zanesville;
followed this and the mining of coal, in which he was interested, through the war,
but having a hankering for running a locomotive again, took a position offered
him in 1865 on the Chicago & Alton Railroad, living for two years in Alton, the
rest of the time in Bloomington. He continued at this business much longer than
he designed to. In Nov., 1876, he quit it and has since then lived retired, in
Bloomington; res. Bloomington, 111.

30, 1858; m. 2d, Oct. 10, i860, Vashti Harkness, b. Mar. 4, 1821. He was born in
Penfield, N. Y., and worked on the farm until his father's death in 1826. After do-
ing various kinds of farm work and attending the district school, he went to
Massachusetts to live with his father's brother. He attended the Cummington
Academy, and later taught school in Yates, N. Y. One of his brothers was
attending Hanover College in Indiana, and desiring a better education availed
himself of an invitation to go there to school. At the commencement exercises
he was chosen one of the speakers. After graduation he taught school in Galla-
tin Co., Ky., for a year and also began the study of law. Going to Jacksonville,
111., he studied law with Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, and was later admitted to
the bar and to practice in all the courts of the State. He opened an office in Hills-
boro in 1835 and was at once elected Justice of the Peace, and in 1838 he was
elected Representative to the Legislature, serving in the last session ever held in
the old State House in Vandalia and the first in the new State House in Springfield,
the present capital. Usher F. Linder, the Attorney-General of Illinois, was
indicted for assault with intent to commit murder and suspended from ofifice, and
he acted as Attorney-General until Linder was tried and acquitted and resumed
the office. In the fall of 1845 he removed to Texas. In 1846 he enlisted and served
as Corporal in the war against Mexico. At the close of the war he engaged in the
practice of law and in locating and buying and selling land. He owned 2,000 acres
of land in Austin, Tex. When the Civil War broke out he was opposed to seces-
sion, and was obliged to flee to save his life. His property, which was quite val-
uable, was confiscated, and his adventures which he experienced while escaping
to the south were very thrilling. On arriving in New Orleans he began the prac-
tice of law and acted as District Attorney of Jefferson Parish.
He has always believed in the Methodist Church since he can remember. He
was licensed as an exorter, then as a local preacher and next admitted into the
Louisiana Conference with an understanding that his appointment should be only
nominal, and that he should be allowed to continue the practice of law and preach
wherever called upon without any expense to the church. When the Constitu-
tional Convention met and elected their officers the question came up for electing
a chaplain. Several of the most eminent preachers of the United States were in
the city. The members were divided in their choice. Mr. Wicklifif, a delegate,
arose and moved that Mr. Fisk be elected chaplain, for he could make the best
prayer of any preacher in the city. One delegate arose and said: "Mr. President,
the gentleman has made a very bold assertion. I would like for him to prove it."
Mr. Wickliff arose and stated "Mr. Fisk can make the shortest prayer of any
of the preachers here." That settled the question, and he was unanimously
elected. He had not named the office to any person. He continued to practice
law during the week and to preach Sundays until 1881, when he removed to Coun-
cil Bluffs, la.
A Chicago paper recently published this:
"Council Bluffs, la., March 5, 1896. — ^Josiah Fisk today received notification
that his claim against the city of New Orleans had been settled, and he will receive
about $4,000.
"Fisk was a law student in the ofifice of Abraham Lincoln. President Grant
appointed him District Attorney for one of the branches of the city of New Or-
leans in 1868, and he served through the trying days of reconstruction. He was
in office ten years. The Ku-Klux-Klan was active in that locality, and Fisk was
equally active in running it down. He was finally advised to leave town, but
declined.
"Soon after a man who resembled Fisk in appearance was killed by the Ku-
klux, and Fisk had to leave. He subsequently sued the city for his salary. Every

effort was made to evade payment. Fisk got judgment for $9,500, and finally set-
tled for $4,000."

m. 2d, at Bastrop, Mrs. Mary (Piper) Hawkins, b. Feb. 25, 1833. Judge Greenleaf
Fisk was born in New York State. At the age of 20 he professed Christ and united
with the Presbyterian Church, and began to study for the ministry. He pursued
his studies so far as to take one year in Lanes Theological Seminary, at Cincin-
nati. Leaving there, he studied a short time at Hanover College, Ind. After a
time he and a companion embarked in a skiff on the Ohio River, and started for
the west. He came to Texas while it was under Mexican rule. He married at
Bastrop, Mary A., daughter of Col. Manlove. When the war of Texas Independ-
ence broke out, he enlisted and served through the entire war. He was present
at the battle of San Jacinto, Apr. 21, 1836. Returning to his home, he found that
his wife had been compelled by the Mexicans to seek safety in eastern Texas. He
at length found her, having a child nearly a year old, which he had never seen.
He was a member of Congress under the Republic of Texas. He afterwards
moved to Williamson county, where his wife died, and he married Mrs. Mary Haw-
kins. From 1838 and onward, he made several trips to Brown county, in the
capacity of surveyor, on one of which trips he was captured by the Indians, but
afterwards released. He located most of the land since owned by him, in Brown
county. In i860 he moved to Brown county, and camped on the site of his
rock residence in town. When the county was organized, in 1861, he was elected
County Judge, and subsequently filled the ofifice of District Clerk; County Clerk,
County Treasurer, and Justice of the Peace. Since that time he has been closely
identified with all the interests of Brown county. In Dec, 1886, he united with the
Presbyterian Church. By failing strength, he was compelled to take his bed,
and after five months of confinement, he passed peacefully away. The funeral
services were conducted at the Presbyterian Church. In accordance with procla-
mation of the Mayor, all business houses in town were closed, and the church
was packed to its uttermost capacity. Seldom has been expressed such a general
sense of bereavement as well as sympathy for the afflicted family. The deceased
had seven children by his first wife, two of whom still live. He had eight chil-
dren by his second wife, all of whom live. He lived to see three great-grandchil-
dren. Thus has passed away another of the old land marks. He d. Jan. 26, 1888;

was a farmer, though he taught school for a time in" his youth; he always thought
he has disobeyed a "call" in not going into the ministry. His life was uneventful
and hard. He was a stern Calvinistic Methodist, more religious than practical,
always in poverty and debt, and brought up his family with too rigid strictness.
Most of his native life was spent on the rocky farm in the White Mountain region.

Esther Ann (Turner) Hall, s. p. Ralph Fiske spent all his life after coming to
manhood, in the village of Whitefield, and all the active part of it in trade. For
many years he kept the only store in the place, and when railroads and the lum-
ber business stimulated its growth, he continued for some time to be one of its
leading men of business, and accumulated considerable property. He often acted
as executor, administrator or trustee, and was prominent in the public affairs of the
town, serving it several times in local office and the State Legislature. Generally
known as the "Squire," he was held in high esteem for his practical capacity and
unswerving integrity. He was prominently connected with the Methodist Church.
The last ten or fifteen years of his life were spent in quiet leisure. Mr. Fiske ever
took a lively interest in the progress of the town, and had the confidence of his
fellow citizens to a marked degree, so in the conduct of public affairs his judg-
ment always, and his services often, were sought and obtained when the political
party with which he was conscientiously allied was in the majority, and from
1836, the date of the first election to public service, for twenty-five years no name
appears oftener in the civil list of the town than Ralph Fiske. He was of very
positive nature; had his own ideas of right and justice, and never swerved from
his own conceptions of duty. For fifty years he was an earnest, consistent mem-
ber of the Methodist Church, and to his interest and encouragement does that
society in Whitefield largely owe its present prosperity. His faith was not of
that stern, unrelenting kind which we might expect, knowing that his early re-
ligious training was from a venerated mother, whose Calvinism was of the unmiti-
gated sort. He d. Dec. 26, 1893; res. Whitefield, N. H.

resided in Grafton county, N. H., first in the town of Bath, then at Lisbon, and
finally at Lyme, where he died. Generally he lived on a farm, but in his earlier
years he had worked at the trade of mason and bricklayer, and often took jobs
of that kind in later life. He was married seven times and succeeded in leaving
a widow, who is still living at Lyme. Like all others of that generation, he was
held in high respect by all who knew him, and was of a rather more genial dis-

life in the village of Lancaster, and for many years kept a hotel there known as
the American House. It was a strictly temperance tavern, and at one time the
leading hostelry of the place, and a resort of White Mountain travel in its earlier
and simpler days. Selling the hotel property he engaged in the business of putting
in drainage and water works in the growing village, partly by contract for the
town and partly as a private undertaking. He was still engaged in this enterprise
at the time of his death. He d. Jan. 4, 1873; res. Whitefield, and Lancaster, N. H.

early manhood there, but he was taken with the early California "gold fever," and
after some hesitation he sold out his business in Maine and emigrated to the
Pacific coast about 1850 or soon after. He and his brother Royal freighted a vessel
with sawed lumber and sent it '"round the Horn," and when it got to San Francisco
the cargo was worth less in the market there than it cost on the New England
coast. He had less predilection for city life than his brother Royal and went into
the mountains and mining regions. He finally seems to have become permanent at
Murphy's Ranche, now known as "Murphy's," where he was still living at last ac-
counts. Res. Murphy's, Cal.

b. Dec. 7, 1814; d. June 20, 1886. When he was about i year of age his father
removed to northern Vermont, settling at or near St. Albans. At the beginning of
FISKE GENEALOGY. 523
the war of 1812 the family returned to Chesterfield. Here his boyhood was spent.
His educational advantages were limited to the district schools of that day with a
term or two at the Chesterfield Academy. When about 20 years of age he ac-
companied the family in its removal to Skip-Muck, now Chicopee Falls, Mass.
Here he found employment. He removed to Constantia, now West Monroe,
Oneida Co., N. Y. After a residence of two years and a half here he returned to
Massachusetts and again located at Chicopee Falls, being employed in the mills
at that place. From this time (1835) until 1849 he was employed in the cotton
mills a greater part of the time. In the spring of 1849 on account of ill health
he removed to Granby, Mass., and began farming, which occupation he followed
as long as his physical powers permitted. He suffered from deafness for many
years, which increased with age. In June, 1886, his wife died, and during the re-
mainder of his life he made his home with his youngest son (A. W. Fiske). His
death was due to old age. He d. Oct. 12, 1895; res. Granby, Mass.

Fisk, viz.s born in Holliston, Mass., Feb. 26, 1807. At an early age he left the
paternal farm, deciding, as he used to say, that "if the earth would let him alone
he would never scratch her face any more." He went to Boston, and after many
discouragements, found employment in the retail grocery business. He gradually
rose until he became proprietor of the business, but at about the age of 35 he lost
the sight of one eye, after an unsuccessful operation for cataract. The sight of the
other gradually failing he was obliged to retire from business. In 1857 he removed
to Charlestown, Mass., where he spent the remainder of his days. He married for
his first wife, Mercy C. Cooper. Of this union no descendants survive. He mar-
ried second, Anna. Amy Aldrich, youngest daughter of Lyman and Anna (Bennett)
Aldrich, of Northbridge, Mass. Of the five children by this marriage, all but two
died young. The survivors are Lyman Beecher Fisk, of Cambridge, Mass., and
Emma Augusta (Fisk) Green, of Westmoreland, N. H. Though a great sufferer
from his eyes for more than half of his life, he bore it all with heroic fortitude until
he passed away, beloved by his family and relatives, honored and respected by all
who knew him. He d. Nov. 29, 1891 ; res. Boston and Charlestown, Mass.

primary, grammar and high schools, and in the last named
was prepared for college. He entered Harvard College in
1869, and was graduated in 1873, with the degree A. B. cum
laude. With the intention of finally entering the medical
profession, he gave a few years to teaching, but while hold-
ing the position of principal of the high school at Keene, N.
H., in 1876, his health failed so completely that he was
obliged to resign, and for a number of years was unfitted to
engage in active business of any kind. In 1882 he received
from the corporation of Harvard University, an appointment
as auditor of the Harvard Dining Association, and still holds
(Dec, 1895) that position.

June 26, 1839, Chloe Catherine Stone, b. Feb. 20, 1817, Nor-
ton, Mass., d. Sept. 17, 1893. Their golden wedding was celebrated in Wilbraham,
in June, 1889. Rev. Franklin Fisk, son of ]\Ioses Fisk and Sibella Jennison, was
born in Framingham, Mass. He is next to the youngest of eight children, six
brothers and two sisters, all of whom lived to be more than 64 years old. He was
educated in the public schools of Natick, Mass., and at the Wesleyan Academy,
Wilbraham, Mass., which he attended in 1832-3-4. During the years 1832-6
he taught several terms of school in various parts of Massachusetts, with great
success. In 1836 he joined the New England Conference of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, taking appointments in almost all parts of Massachusetts, and some
in Connecticut, continuing in the active ministry for more than thirty years. He
married Chloe Catharine Stone, who was a student with him at Wilbraham. To
them were born eight children, four sons and four daughters, five of whom are
still living. In 1867 he suffered a stroke of paralysis, which compelled him to
leave the active work of the ministry. He settled at Wilbraham and became one
of the well known residents. His beloved wife was taken from him by heart
failure in 1893, after a happy imion of fifty-four years. He has since resided with
his children, under the shadows of Northwestern and Denver Universities, and
Bates College. "Father" Fisk has been a famous character in connection with
New England Methodism. Genial and social in temperament, keenly interested in
all the affairs of the church, remarkably energetic in attendance upon camp meet-
ings and religious assemblies far and near, he is very widely known and uni-
versally beloved. He and his wife were teachers. All his surviving children and
all their wives and husbands have been teachers. The best known are Prof.
Herbert F. Fisk, D. D., of Northwestern University, Evanston, 111., and Everett

lived until the fall of|
1863, returning at
that time to live'
again in Cambridge,'

1867, his parents hav-|
ing both died, he
went with his sister
to live with his uncle,'
Dr. Samuel Augustus
Fisk, in Northamp-!
ton, Mass. This uncle^
legally adopted his
sister, and was his;
guardian. He was fit-}
ted for college at the
Round Hill School,'
in Northam pton,'
and, later on, under,
the Rev. J o s i a h
Clark, LL. D., hej
was prepared to enterj
college in 1872, but it
was deemed best, on
account of his youth,
to keep him out for
another year, and in
1873 he went to Yale,
and was graduated in 1877, receiving the degree of A. B. In
the fall of 1877 he went to Harvard Medical School, and was
graduated, receiving the degree of M. D. in 1880. He re-
ceived, in the spring of 1880, an appointment, as house officer,
to the Massachusetts General Hospital, in Boston, but was
obliged to forego his appointment in consequence of having
contracted an acute pulmonary tuberculosis, which sent him
to Colorado in the fall of that year. From that time until
the spring of 1883, he knocked about Colorado in search of
health, living a part of the time at Poncha Springs, on the
very frontier, and practicing medicine in a desultory man-
ner. In May, 1883, he located in Denver, and was stricken
down in the fall of the same year with a severe attack of
rheumatic fever, accompanied with diabetes insipidus, from
the effects of which latter trouble he has since suffered con-
tinuously. In the spring of 1884 he was elected to a chair
in the medical department of the University of Denver, and
has occupied in succession the chairs of anatomy, nervous dis-
eases, and the practice of medicine, in that imiversity, which
latter chair, as professor of the practice of medicine, he still
holds. In 1884 he was made secretary of the faculty, and
held that position until the spring of 1895, when they elected
him dean. In June, 1884, his alma mater, Yale, gave him the
degree of Master of Arts. In June, 1887, he joined the
American Climatological Association: in 1888 he was elected
president of the Colorado State Medical Society; in 1890 he
was elected a member of the Association of American Physi-

tent in the State Weather Bureau, and meteorological mat-
ters within the State. He is attending physician to the County

Nathan, Nathaniel, William. Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Symond), b. Nash-
ville, Tenn., Jan. 24, 1809; m. Cumberland, R. I., May 26, 1839, Louisa Brown, of
Lime Rock, b. Cumberland. R. I., Mar. 11, 1816. Oliver Johnson Fiske was born
in the city of Nashville, Tenn., on the 24th day of January, 1809, and died in
Crawfordsville, Ind., Jan. 8, 1886. He was the son of Isaac and Elizabeth (John-
son) Fiske, both of whom were from New England. Soon after the birth of Oliver
they returned to Massachusetts and lived upon a farm in the town of Framingham
in that State. The subject of our sketch was the second of five brothers. The
common school education which he received in that village only gave him a keener
appetite for acquiring a more extensive knowledge. To go away to attend school
was out of the question, as his parents were poor. He determined, however, to
overcome all obstacles and not allow the prize which he so much desired to slip away,
from him. Acting under the advice of some friend he arranged a course of study.
Every moment when not at work on the farm he was mastering Latin and Greek.
While his companions were at play he was at study, and oftentimes sitting up until
after midnight pursuing the course he had marked out. During this time there
was a revival of religion at the Baptist Church at Framingham. He attended the
meetings and was converted. Soon after he became impressed with the desire to
preach the gospel. At last a way was opened for him to attend school at South Read-
ing, Mass., after which he went to the theological school at Newton, remaining there
one year. He made up his mind that he would obtain a full collegiate education
and entered Brown University in the junior class and graduated in the class of
1837. In 1838 he was duly ordained at the Baptist Church at Lime Rock, Smith-
field, R. I., and became pastor of that church. His labors here were successful;
many were added to the church and the older members were revived, and when he
resigned his pastorate the church was in a strong, healthy condition. fie ac-
cepted a position as principal of a young ladies' seminary at Stewart's Creek,
County of Rutherford, Tenn. In 1839, before leaving Lime Rock, he married
Miss Maria Louisa Brown, of Cumberland, R. I. She was a great help to him in
his work as a teacher. Here he remained for about two years, and owing to the
unhealthfulness of the place where the seminary was situated he was obliged to
give up his school, and he accepted a situation to become principal of a boys' school
in Robertson County, Tenn. So successful was he here as a teacher that he had
many flattering inducements to go elsewhere to teach in different parts of the
south. He accepted an offer to become principal of an academy at Nashville,
Tenn. Here he prepared young men for college. He received many letters irom
the members of faculties and presidents of colleges complimenting him on the
thorough manner in which his students were prepared to enter on their college
course. In 1850 he was called to the presidency of Enon College, at Galhtin,
Tenn., which position he accepted. Being connected with this institution brought
him in touch with the denomination he so much loved. Almost every Sabbath he
preached, sometimes going several hundred miles to preach at associations and
large churches. Many of his sermons were printed in the Tennessee Baptist and
other religious papers. In 1855, on account of his wife's health and desirous of
bringing up his family in a free State, he removed to Bloomington, 111., where for
twenty years he was engaged in pastoral work and holding evangelistic meetings.

He did not keep a record of the number of persons converted under his preaching,
but it would amount to hundreds. When completely worn out by hard work and
failing health he went to live with his son Charles H. Fiske, at Crawfordsville,
Ind. His last illness was a brief one, but it found him cheerful and bright and in
a hope full of immortality. It was the peaceful end of a man whose whole life had
been one of self-sacrificing devotion to the promotion of the interests of education
and religion. Mr. Fiske had three children, Edwin B. Fiske, of Rochester, N. Y..
lawyer; Oliver Edgar Fiske, who died of typhoid fever when 17 years of age, and
Charles H. Fiske, who resides now in the city of Indianapolis, Ind. His wife is
still living, though in feeble health. He d. Jan. 8, 1886; res. Nashville, Tenn., and

b. Feb. 7, 1822. He was born in Framingham, and learned the trade of harness
maker. At the age of 21 he went to Waltham and engaged in business, when he
was appointed deputy sherifif under Sheriff Hildreth, serving under both sheriffs.
Keys and Kimball, and at the death of the latter, being senior deputy, he became
acting sherifif. At the end of the year he was elected sheriff for three years, and his
term would have expired the first of Jan., 1884. At the time of his succession to
the office of high sherifif he had served as deputy thirty consecutive years. Mr.
Fiske was always popular, running ahead of his ticket at elections. The members
of the bar recognized in him a man who was eminently qualified for his office. He
was often chosen moderator of the town meetings in Waltham, for a long time
acted as coroner, had been justice of the peace, deputy collector of internal revenue,
and assistant internal revenue assessor. He was a member of the board of water
commissioners for Waltham one term of three years and declined re-election. He

b. Fiskburg, Ky., Aug. 31, 1843; m. at Lexington, Oct. 2^, 1866, Margaret A. Em-
mal, b. Feb. 3, 1848. Charles H. Fisk was born Aug. 31, 1843, at Fiskburg, Ken-
ton County, Ky. ; moved to Covington, Ky., in Oct., 1848; son of Hon. John F.
and Elizabeth S. Fisk. His father was Lieutenant-Governor of Kentucky, and a
strong union man during the War of the Rebellion. Chas. H. attended the public
schools and graduated from the high school in 1858, but pursued his studies there-
after in that school in special classes; entered Miami University in Feb., i860;
graduated 1863. While in the university he was very popular with the great ma-
jority of the students, faculty and residents of Oxford. He became a member of
Kappa Chapter of D. K. E. shortly after he entered college and was an ardent and
devoted member of that fraternity. He was for a time the presiding officer in that
chapter. He entered Miami Union Literary Society during his freshman year and
became thoroughly identified with all the interests of that body. He was ambi-
tious and successful in all of his efforts, and received at the hands of his fellow
students and of the faculty more honors than were ever allotted to any other stu-
dent at the university. He was chosen junior orator by his class; represented his
college on celebration of Washington's birthday; was elected president of the
Miami Union Literary Society in the last half of the junior year; chosen to deliver
the address at the winter exhibition of Miami Union Literary Society in the first
half of his senior year; was given the first honor in his class and delivered the
valedictory on July 2, 1863. He was noted as the best foot ball "kicker ever in the
university. He was much inclined to mischief and in consequence was often in
consultation with the faculty at the Friday afternoon meetings. After his gradua-
638 FISKE GENEALOGY.
tion at Miami, Mr. Fisk entered the law office of his father and began seriously the
study of the law. The father's partner died about six weeks later and Mr. Fisk
began at once to assist his father in all matters. He attended the Cincinnati Law
School and graduated therefrom with credit in the spring of 1864. He received
his law license a few months before reaching his majority, but could not enter upon
active practice until the fall of 1864. He practiced with his father till Feb., 1865,
when he formed a partnership with Hon. John M. Scott and went to Lexington,
Ky., to practice before the military courts and commissions. He was there during
the remainder of 1865. in which brief period he defended thirty-three persons
accused of murder with success and ability. In 1866 he returned to Covington and
resumed the practice there with his father with whom he formed a partnership on
Jan. I, 1868, and the firm of John F. & Chas. H. Fisk has since continued. The
senior, however, retired from active business in the spring of 1890. Mr. Fisk is
an avowed Republican, but has not taken to political life as a business. He has
devoted himself with untiring energy to the profession of his choice, and has been
eminently successful. His clients have ever been among the best citizens and cor-
porations in his vicinity. While in Lexington he became acquainted with the
woman of his choice, and on Oct. 2;^, 1866, he was united in marriage to Miss Mag-
gie Emmal, of that city. Three children have blessed this union, but the eldest
child, a bright boy, was caUed hence in Jan., 1881, at the age of 13 years and 4
months. The second son. Otis H.. graduated with honor from Yale University in
1892, and has been in Germany pursuing his studies since that time. He will
remain there for a four years' course. The third child is Miss Elizabeth S., her
grandmother's namesake, now (1894) in her loth year. The subject of this sketch
has been highly honored by the Masonic fraternity with which he has been inti-
mately identified since 1877. He has been Grand Master of the Grand Lodge,
Grand T. L Master of the Grand Council, Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter
and Grand Commander of the Grand Commandery of Kentucky. He is a member
of the Christian Church and prominent in all matters connected therewith. For
about twenty-four years he has been superintendent of the Sunday school. In
1884 Mr. Fisk delivered a Masonic address on St. John's day in the college campus,
by invitation of the Masons of Oxford and vicinity. In 1890 he delivered the ad-
dress to the alumni of Miami. He has filled two terms as president of the Miami
University Association; res. 1017 Russell Ave., Covington, Ky.
5753. i. EMMAL, b. Sept. 3, 1867; d. Jan. 14, 1881. Emmal Fisk, the
elder son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. H. Fisk, was a bright boy
and perhaps the best known and most popular boy of his age
ever in that city. He was unusually strong and active for his
years, but was called away from his family and friends by that
terrible disease peritonitis at the age of 13 years and 4 months.
The esteem in which he was held was shown by the fact that
his funeral was attended by the largest number of people ever
present at the funeral of any young person in the city.
5754. ii. OTIS HARRISON, b. Mar. 5, 1870. He attended the public
schools in Covington for some years, then spent two years in
the school of Prof. Babbin in Cincinnati, and thereafter was
with Professor Wyckoft' at Walnut Hills, where he was pre-
pared for Yale College, in which he entered the freshman class
in 1888. At the end of that year he accompanied his father
on an extended trip to the old country, and visited points of
interest in England, Scotland, France and Germany, and very
thoroughly explored Belgium, Italy and Ireland. He gradu-
' ated with "honor" in the class of. 1892 at Yale. In the fall of
that year he went to Germany for the purpose of studying law
in the universities there and of becoming proficient in the
German language, of which he had at all times been a student.
He entered at Leipsic where he spent one year. The next
semester was passed at Berlin. He then went to Heidelberg,
where he expected to remain one year. While there, however,
he conceived the idea of surprising his parents by taking, as
he says, a degree for his father. He remained six months
longer than he intended, and on Aug. 2. 1895, received at the
hands of the celebrated university at Heidelberg the degree of
FISKE GENEALOGY. 539
"Doctor of Philosophy," "magnum cum laude." The essay
submitted by him prior to his oral examination met with
great favor, and two of the professors, Jellineck and Meyer,
perhaps the most celebrated in their departments in Europe,
who are issuing a series of Philosophical Works as part of the
Heidelberg University Library series, have asked permission,
which, of course, was granted, to publish the essay of Dr. Fisk
as a portion of the first volume of said series. The laurel
wreath with which he was crowned, and the "Dr's hat" from
his "cake," he sent to his sister, by his father, who visited him
last summer for the second time. He has returned to Leipsic,
where he expects to receive the degree of Dr. de jura in 1896.
He has traveled extensively on the continent during his vaca-
tions. He speaks and writes the German like a native. He
propo.'^es to practice law upon his return to his native land,
but has not yet determined upon his location. He has just re-
turned (1896) to Heide'berg for further degree.

4251. JUDGE ROBERT BROWN FISK (John F., David, Ebene^er, Eben-
ezer, Ebenezer. David, David, David, Jeffrey, Robert, Simon, Simon, William,
Symond), b. Covington, Ky., Mar. 2, 1852; m. at Logansport, Ind.. Oct. 30,
1883, Julia Comly (Green) Ross, b. June 16, 1852. Robert Brown Fisk, son of
John Flavell and Elizabeth Sarah Fisk, was born at Covington, Kenton County,
Ky., on March 2, 1852, at the brick building, still standing, on the southeast corner
of Scott Street, and the alley between Fifth and Sixth Streets. He was the fourth
of seven children, there being a boy and two girls on each side of Robert. He
attended the public schools in his native town, ultimately graduating from the high
school there, after taking the first three years of a collegiate course, at the high
school, under the able tutorship of Prof. John Wortham Hall, whose father. Dr. J.
W. Hall, was for many years president of Miami University at Oxford, Ohio. At
the high school he met Miss Julia Comly Green, sister-in-law of Professor Hall,
who, subsequently, became Robert's wife, their engagement having been broken
ofif, and, when Miss Green became a widow, renewed and their marriage resulting.
Graduating with honors from this school, Robert immediately applied himself to
the study of law, in the office of his father and brother, constituting the firm of
J. F. & C. H. Fisk, in Covington. Robert was admitted to the practice of the law
when not quite 20 years of age, and for several years continued in the office where
he had studied, but never became a member of the firm. In 1880 he associated
with himself Mr. William D. Brent, at that time a clerk in the office of J. F. & C.
H. Fisk, and under the style of Fisk & Btent these two opened an office as attor-
neys, in the old Greer block, on Lower Market and Scott Street, Covington. Ky.
Mr. Brent having been appointed city cleik to fill a vacancy, the partnership of
Fisk & Brent was dissolved and Mr. Fisk after practicing in Covington for a time
by himself, finally, in 1884, left his native city and located at Pierre in the then ter-
ritory of Dakota, but now the capital of South Dakota. While living at Pierre, in
1885, Mr. Fisk was appointed by Hon. Gilbert A. Pierce, then Governor of the
territory, as supervisor of the census taken of the territory in that year. The terri-
tory was divided, in this work, by an imaginary line, running about on the present
line between North and South Dakota, Mr. Fisk having the supervision of the
southern portion. This was a larger territory than ever before or since super-
vised b,v one person, it requiring a force of about four hundred enumerators to do
the actual canvassing for returns, there being about 263,000 people in the district
Mr. Fisk, however, was possessed of ambition to do well and an almost inexhausti-
ble ability for work. He completed his work, returned his schedules, and for the
first (and perhaps the only) time these returns were recognized and paid for by the
National Government, in the proportion provided by law. The total expenses of
the census for Mr. Fisk's district were about $27,000, and every cent of it was
properly accounted for. While acting as supervisor of this census, Mr. Fisk was
a witness before the sub-committee of the Senatorial Committee, appointed to
inquire into the condition of the settlers on the Crow Creek Indian reservation,
opened to settlement by proclamation of President Arthur, at about the close of
his term of office, and "closed," by proclamation of President Cleveland, shortly
640 FISKE GENEALOGY.
after his ascension to the Presidency. Mr. Fisk's testimony, before this commit-
tee, coupled with a very full exposition of the matter, tabulated, by Mr. Fisk, from
his census schedules, had much to do with the subsequent action of Congress in
recognizing the rights of these settlers and the congressional relief afforded them.
This sub-committee was composed of Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, John J.
Ingalls of Kansas and Senator Jones of Arkansas. Just before leaving Covington,
and just after going to Pierre, Mr. Fisk compiled, for the city of Covington, the
statute laws of Kentucky, the ordinances ot the city, and the decisions of the Court
of Appeals of Kentucky, touching questions of importance to cities, a work which
has received very high commendation from the bar of Kentucky. In 1884 Mr.
Fisk made homestead filing on the S. W. Ki of Section 6, Township 117, Range 75,
in Potter County (now), South Dakota, and moved to that place. In 1890 he
moved his residence to Gettysburg, the county seat of Potter County, where he
had opened a law office in 1886, and where he still resides, engaged in the practice
of law. In 1892 Mr. Fisk was secretary of the Volunteer World's Fair Com-
mission of South Dakota, having been a delegate, sent by the Business Men's
Association of Gettysburg, to the convention, at which that commission was
formed. This commission afterward gave way to that appointed by the Governor
of the State, with which Mr. Fisk was not connected. His wife is the great-
granddaughter of Samuel Meredith, the first treasurer of the United States and a
warm personal friend of Washington. Her father, Richard Green, was a native
of Pluddersfield, Yorkshire, England. He married Margaret Meredith, at Wilkes
Barre, Pa.,- and was for many years a leading merchant of Dayton, Ohio, from
which place he moved to near Logansport, Ind., where he died. Mrs. Fisk's
mother is still living at the advanced age of 88 years, in the full possession of all
her faculties, and having the appearance of a woman of not over 60. Mrs. Fisk
is a woman of queenly form and face, a lady of rare accomplishments and noted
for her domestic virtues. IMr. Fisk is counted a good lawyer and is ranked among
the most eloquent and forcible speakers ot South Dakota. He is a Republican in
politics, a member of the Christian Church, and is now the County Judge of Pot-
ter County. His home is a model of combined southern and western hospitality;
his married life has been unusually felicitous and happy; res. Gettysburg, So. Dak.

b. May 8, 1844. He was born in Essex county, N. Y., in 1836. son of a lumber-
man, and his early years gave him a practical training in all that pertained to the
life of a lumberman. When still young, being possessed of a desire to seek his
fortun.e with the great th'-ong then hurrying west, shortly after the discovery of
gold in California, he crossed the plains long before a locomotive whistle was
there heard, and then it was at the risk of one's life that such a venture was made.
He arrived at Salt Lake City shortly after the famous Mountain Meadow mas-
FISKE GENEALOGY. 543
sacre, and, as it soon became manifest to him that a man who did not intend
to become a Mormon, and did not want to adopt polygamy, had Httle chance of
success there, he hastened on to Nevada. Eleven years of the most eventful char-
acter were spent afterward, prospecting on the mountains of Nevada, Colorado,
California, Idaho and Montana. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he joined a
company of Rangers in Nevada, and they, starting east for the scene of hostili-
ties, were recalled by the Governor to suppress an uprising in that State, and
thereafter the Rangers were retained in Virginia City for the protection of property
from Indians and outlaws. After the close of the war, Mr. Fisk returned east and
decided to settle and enter into the lumber business in New York State. A few-
years of the quiet monotony of business life again brought on a desire for the rush
and activity of the west, and he returned to Alontana where he spent ten years in
the lumber business and in railroad contracting. During this period he was one
•of the constructors of a branch of the Union Pacific Railroad, and he also built an
hundred miles of the Northern Pacific Railroad. On the completion of the latter
road, while on a visit east, circumstances brought him to Berkshire, and being
pleased with the people and surroundings, he decided to retire from active busi-
ness and enjoy the quiet of his present home, "Brookside," in Cheshire, which
had been the home of his ancestors since the settlement of the Hoosac Valley.
Mr. Fisk's education has been for the most part practical, having entered his
lather's mills after a few years' study in the public schools, though he later studied
•a year at Dickinson Academy, in Pennsylvania. Nevertheless the lessons taught
him in the rough school of experience have served him best, and have made him
one of those free, easy men of the western stamp who see the broad side of life,
and overlook the petty ditYerences so prevalent in the east. As a business man
he has had experience enough to qualify him for most any position, and, coupled
with this knowledge, has a keen insight of men and affairs that especially fits
him as a legislator. With his home in the heart of a farming community, he is
-especially interested in all that concerns the farmer, and will no doubt prove of
valuable service at the next session of the Legislature in the consideration of
tuberculosis and bounty to farmers for cows killed. His large experience covers
3iiost any point on which he is liable to be sounded, and his residence here, coupled
with his interest in his district, all make him the man for the place. There can
be no doubt but Mr. Fisk will make us a most etificient and servicable Representa-
tive. He is not a politician, though he has always identified himself with the
-Republican party: res. Cheshire, Mass.

Benjamin, John, John, Phinehas, Thomas. Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Sy-
mond), b. June 16. 1829; m. Feb. 10, 1850. in Tioga, Pa., Jane E. Spencer. Ansel J.
Fisk, M. D., son of Lyman and Betsey Fisk, was born at Schroon, Essex county,
N. Y. At the age of 16 he came with his father to Tioga, Pa., where they engaged
actively in lumbering, the young man attending to the financial part of the busi-
ness, and keeping all the books and accounts. His school days were limited, his
literary training meager, but he learned to be methodical in alYairs, which was best
-evidenced in his career as a physician. Moved to Bellenart, Canada, in 1854, and
by close attention to the manufacture of lumber, he soon acquired a fine compe-
tence. Returning to Tioga, in 1861, he purchased large tracts of forest land, and
building mills, continued the lumbering business for some years. In 1873 he com-
menced the study of medicine with Dr. R. B. Smith, of Tioga. Pa. He attended
his first course of lectures at Bellevue and graduated at Detroit Medical College, in
1876. He immediately entered upon practice at Farmington, Pa., and continued
-actively engaged in the duties of the profession imtil his health became so impaired
that he could no longer labor in his chosen field. His boyhood days were spent
amidst the scenes of the Great North woods, and the mountain ranges of the Adi-
rondacks, where he became familiar with gun and rod and in mature years he ever
enjoyed the recreation of hunting and fishing. Mr. Fisk was a born doctor and had a
natural tendency toward medicine and surgery. At his lumber works in Canada,
situated a long drive from a physician, he provided himself with a case of medi-
cines and surgical instruments, and prescribed for his workmen, sewed up their
■cuts and dressed their injuries with excellent success. He had an intuitive faculty of
diagnosis, and a quick perception at the bedside of fitting his medicine to the

case in hand. Optimistic, of a hopeful temperament, cheerful and cheery in na-
ture, he inspired his patients with confidence. Fertile in resources and of unlimited
courage he never relaxed his efforts to save Uis patient. He was heroic in treat-
ment and gave the maximum dose. The writer remembers prescribing 15 grains
of potassium bromide, when Dr. Fisk, who was present, quietly remarked: "You
are shooting bear with bird shot, give him 60," -and Fisk was right. There was
not a particle of jealousy in his nature, professional or otherwise. He was never
known to utter a word in disparagement of a fellow physician, or to criticise the
treatment of a case. He believed that there was room for all, and that the best
interests of the profession could be attained by working in harmony. He soon after
graduating became a member of this society and attended the meetings while his
health permitted. In politics he was a Republican. After a painful illness of three
years, during which time he made the same gallant fight for his own life, which
he had always made for his patients, he died of Bright's disease on the 56th anni-
versary of his birth. He d. June 16, 1885; res. Tioga, Pa.

Alva, Wood County, Oklahoma. In 1856 Isadore went to
Iowa with her parents; and at the age of 15 was employed as a
teacher. In the following May she was married to George
Rogers. When she was 18 her first story was published, none
but her closest friends surmising her literary aspirations. This
story was accepted by none other than Datus E. Coon, after-
ward Minister to Cuba. She signed herself "Eugenia." In
1884 her husband's health became so poor that they concluded
to settle up their affairs in Belmond and go to southern Kan-
sas, hoping the climate would be beneficial. But he grew
weaker and weaker, until he passed away, a few months later.
Soon after her husband's death, her children were prostrated
with malarial fever. There was no voice to soothe, no heart to
sympathize. It was late in January before health was restored,
and to use her own expression: "To retrieve my broken for-
tunes, I resolved to take a claim, and make a home for my
children." She heard of a piece of land out thirty-five miles
from Harper, that had once been taken, and then abandoned,
by a Missourian. According to the law, a piece of land must
be entered, then lived upon, and improved six months, before
Uncle Sam would receive payment. She went by wagon to
Wichita, a distance of ninety-five miles, in the dead of winter,
and presented her claim under the pre-emption law. She sent
out lumber for a shanty to be built, and followed in February
with the children. The winter was bleak, desolate, and forbid-
ding-— with snow and freezing winds. Home-sickness and de-
spondency weighed crushingly upon her; and the loneliness at
! Harper seemed to pale beside the utter loneliness here in this
shanty. When night spread her pall over them, there was no
sound save the moaning dirge of the wind and the howling
of the hungry coyotes for company. Unexpectedly the Mis-
sourian's son returned and illegally filed upon the land. The
father had plowed eighteen furrows, and had boarded up a
shanty without door, floor or window. This was done to
keep others away, but the fraud was so apparent, he had not
dared to return, since actual settlers had come, and must dis-
cover his trickery. The Carlisle Cattle Company owned land
adjoining, and these men took advantage of the prejudice
against the company, to circulate a report to the effect that
Mrs. Rogers was proving up land in their favor. This made
her much trouble. There were six men against one woman,
and when she made final proof, they contested her right. She
secured a prominent lawyer from Wichita, and fought them.
After four months' delay, decision was made in her favor by
the registrar and receiver. The Missourians appealed, and
after six months, the case went against her, the land commis-
sioner deciding that she was in intrigue with the Cattle Com-
pany. It was now that she realized the truth of an assertion
of Brick Pomeroy's, in a private letter to her: "If we work
from principle, we must not expect —
To be carried through this world
On flowery beds of ease;
But we must ever limp along,
As though we walked on peas."
FISKE GENEALOGY. 549
The matter was taken to Washington, D. C, and L. Q. C.
Lamar, the Secretary of the Interior, decided in her favor
after many months of delay. She sold her land for $1,400, and
went to Colorado with her elder son, who was suffering with
consumption. The time came when she had to lay her sons,
side by side, in a beautiful valley, with only the towering
mountains to guard their resting place. She was married to
Mr. Notestine in Hardy, la., an early settler, a member of the
M. E. Church, and an influential citizen of Humboldt County.
He was a soldier in the War of the Rebellion, and it was exactly
thirty years from the time he was taken captive, and placed in
Libby Prison, that he was again taken captive — this time by a
woman. As Mrs. Notestine sits in her comfortable home, and
looks back over the past, she sees a golden thread, reaching
through the warp of her life, which has kept its place midst the
rougher woof, forming beautiful figures in life's tapestry — and
this thread is her literary aspirations. She has had many flat-
tering words from editors, but none she values more than those
which came from T. S. Arthur, for whom she has written
more than for all others: "Your articles sound womanly."
Her years have been more or less overcast with clouds, but as
she nears the afternoon of life, her skies appear very auspi-
cious. May the morrow be a fair day for her.

E. Walrath, b. . She res. Sparta.
George Augustus Fisk was the third son
of Daniel Fisk, born in Springfield, O.,
Aug. 5, 1831; he moved with his parents
to Sparta, Wis., in the spring of 1852; was
married to Catherine Eliza Walrath, Jan.
I, 1857. George Augustus Fisk was an
afYectionate husband and father, a true
friend, and sometimes forgiving his foes;
a Democrat of the old school, not like the
present time; brave as a lion, always ready
to help those in distress. At the break-
ing out of the war all the slumbering
heroism of his ancestors broke out in
him. He used to say: "I am going to
help whip the rebels." "I want to see
fair play." In 1861 he raised a company
of volunteers, and was appointed Captain
of Company D, Eighteenth Wisconsin
Regiment; was taken prisoner at the
battle of Shiloh, Apr. 6; was a prisoner
of war eight months, suffering everything
but death. After his release he rejoined
his regiment; was with it until after the
surrender of Vicksburg. then his health
failed, and he was sent home to die. He
was honorably discharged. After a severe
illness of three months he recovered.
Nothing daunted he raised another com-
pany, which was joined to the Thirty-sixth
Regiment, Wisconsin Volunteers, Com-
pany C; was appointed Captain; was in all the battles, including the battles of
Cold Harbor, Hatcher's Run, with the regiment. The following letter from Brig-
adier-General T. W. Egan is submitted:
"Headquarters Second Division, Second Army Corps. Nov. i, 1865.
"His Excellency, James T. Lewis, Governor of the State of Wisconsin. Your
MAJOR GEORGE AUGUSTUS FISK.
FISKE GENEALOGY. 551
Excellency: At this first opportunity since the recent reconnoissance in force, I
address you in approval of the performance of the Thirty-sixth Wisconsin Volun-
teers, during that movement; they being commanded through it all by Captain
George A. Fisk. As your excellency knows, this regiment came here new. They
were rushed into the breach untried, in a campaign which has been fiercer and
more bloody than Napoleon's. The Thirty-sixth made its debut in a battle, of
which the London Times says that England could not levy or lose one-tenth of
number placed hors de combat. It was a contest of veteran Americans, and the
comparison with them of inexperienced Americans is most unequal. On reach-
ing the field the Thirty-sixth took up their positions as firmly and steadily as the
oldest. In all operations in mass, they were undistinguishable for compactness
and celerity, from the best, but soon they were given an opportunity for indi-
vidual action. After several charges and countercharges, in which the advantage
remained with us, I determined to take the enemy's position across Hatcher's
Run. The order to charge had just been given, when the enemy opened heavily
upon my right and rear, and advanced upon my main line in heavy masses. His
forces enclosed three sides, and with worse troops, the situation would have been
menacing. To crown all, a heavy body of rebels was thrown upon my rear (the
fourth side), and occupied the Boydton road, making a complete surround. A
swift face by the rear rank, and wheeling charge by the New Jersey bridge, cleared
my right flank, but from the threatening body in my rear, it remained with the
Thirty-sixth Wisconsin to relieve me. Captain Fisk threw them into line, and
dashed at the enemy. It was a short fight; that rebel brigade was instantaneously
crumbled and destroyed, being mostly captured, with arms, colors and officers,
to a total number three times greater than the Thirty-sixth. Having cleared
my rear, the regiment returned to its place in line, and behaved equally well until
it returned to camp. If Napoleon's regiment faltered once, so did they conquer
themselves and take place with his bravest, and so in this more bitter contest, if
the Thirty-sixth had anything to redeem, do I now depend upon them with my
veterans I am your excellency's obedient servant,
"T. W. Eagan, Brigadier-General Commanding Division."
He was commissioned as Major of the Thirty-sixth Regiment, Mar. 7, 1865.
At the end of the war was ofifered a position in the United States Army as an
oiificer, but instead came home, and in the fall of 1866 was elected Sheriff of Mon-
roe county.
"Death of Major Fisk. — Still another of the old residents of Sparta has joined
the silent majority. Major Geo. A. Fisk, who for two years past has been con-
fined to his house, from a complication of ailments, breathed his last Friday morn-
ing, Aug. 13, 1886, at his residence in this city. Capt. Fisk was one of the very
earliest residents of this vicinity, removing here with his father's family, in the
spring of i8=;2. He was born in Springfield, O., Aug. 5, 1831. his age at death
therefore being 56 years and nine days. His early residence in Sparta was marked
by the usual incidents and vicissitudes of the Spartans in those days of the in-
. fant city, and he witnessed its growth from a hamlet in the wilderness, up to a
thriving village. He had an active, courageous spirit, and at the breaking out
of the war, was one of the first to spring to the front in his country's defense. He
raised a company of volunteers, and was appointed Captain of Company D, Eight-
eenth Regiment, in 1861. He was captured by the enemy at Shiloh, Apr. 6, 1862.
and was released Oct. 14, 1862. In 1864 he raised another company, which was
joined to the Thirty-sixth Wisconsin Regiment as Company C, and of which he was
appointed the Captain. This regiment was assigned to the First Brigade, Second
Division, of the Second Army Corps, with which it served till the close of the war,
seeing the severe service of the advance on Petersburg, and the siege of that place,
from June 14, to Aug. 12, when it was removed down the James River, afterwards
returning and participating in the fight at Reams' Station, on the 25th. Capt.
Fisk took command of the regiment about this time. The Thirty-sixth and Capt.
Fisk won especial praise for gallantry at the battle of Hatcher's Run. Oct. 27, where
the Thirty-sixth was formed in line of battle, with the Second and Third Brigades
on the right, and the Third Division in the rear. At 3 o'clock the enemy, in

somely executed, striking the rebels on the flank, doubHng up their line, causing
Ihem to break and run, and capturing a large number of prisoners, with one stand
•of colors. In this engagement the casualties of the regiment were fifteen wounded
and no missing. Brigadier-General Egan, commanding the Second Division, in
his official report, speaks of the regiment in the highest terms, saying that 'it cap-
tured a larger number of prisoners than it had men engaged,' and refers especially
to the gallant conduct and cool daring of Captain Fisk, commanding the regiment.
Captain received an appointment as Major, Mar. 7, 1865. The regiment was
mustered out July 12, 1865, and was disbanded at Madison on the 24th. Major
Fisk served one term as Sherifif of the county, in 1866-68, subsequently engaging in
selling farm machinery, in which he continued as long as his health permitted.
His wife, Catherine E. Walrath, to whom he was married in 1857, survives him.
The funeral took place Sunday afternoon from his residence, the Masonic fraternity

Daniel A. Fisk is a young man of quiet character. He com-
pleted the modern classical course in the Sparta High School,
with the class of 1893. As a student he was patient and pains-
taking. Beneath his modest demeanor could be seen marks
of strong character. He had a hearty admiration for the
heroes of history, and took for the subject of his graduat-
ing oration, "The Men Who Never Die." At present Daniel
is making a clean and creditable record in Beloit College.

Adelaide Bartle, b. May 30, 1840. Richmond Fisk, Jr., was born at Bennington
Centre, Vt. Was fitted for college at Ball Seminary, Hoosick Falls, N. Y.
Entered Williams College in 1854, spending two years there, and then two years
at Union College, where he graduated in 1858. During three winters of his col-
lege course he taught school. On graduating he entered the law office of Hon.
Stephen L. Magoun, of Hudson, N. Y., and had not a little experience in collect-
ing rents on large estates of which Mr. Magoun was agent or administrator.
Though a good and interested student of the law. his aptitude as developed by his
favorite college studies of philosophy turned his mind more to the ministry
than to the law as a calling. He entered the study of Rev. A. D. Mayo, then
pastor of the Unitarian Church, Albany, N. Y., in 1859, and was ordained in 1861
as minister of the Universalist Church in Newark, Wayne County, N. Y. Was
married to Adelaide Bartle, daughter of Col. James P. Bartle, of Newark. N. Y.
Dr. Fisk has had settlements in Newark, N. Y., three years; Lockport. N. Y.,
three years, where he resigned, intending to accept a call to the professorship
of Biblical languages in the Theological School of St. Lawrence University. Canton,
N. Y., but was induced to take a pastorate at Auburn, N. Y.. a large and impor-
tant church, from which place, however, after three years, he was called to the
presidency of the College of Science and Letters of St. Lawrence University.
Here four years were spent in fostering the financial and educational interests of
the college, his time divided between the duties of the professor's chair of
mental and moral philosophy and the field seeking money and students. After
nearly four years he accepted a call to Grand Rapids, and thence in three years ta
Sycamore, N. Y., where for ten years, from 1874 to 1884, he engaged, in connection
with his church cares, in the charities of the city. He was instrumental in founding
the Bureau of Labor and Charities of that city, and was its general secretary for
seven years. He also established in connection with the bureau branches of the
societies for the prevention of cruelty to children and to animals; also
the Red Cross Society, of Miss Clara Barton, by which latter society
thousands of dollars in clothing and money were sent to the flood
sufferers of the South. He was also secretary of the Civil Service
Society of Syracuse. He was obliged by over work to give vp his man-
ifold work in Syracuse, and, in 1884, accepted a call to Watertown, N. Y.,
where for eight years his ministry was prospered as in all his previous settlements,
while for seven years of the time he was president of the Watertown Bureau of
Charities, which he had aided in organizing while he was general secretary of the
Syracuse Bureau. While located in Watertown, N. Y., he was apoointed by
Gov. Flower a trustee of the Asylum for Feeble Minded Women, at Newark, N.
Y. He was one of the founders of the Jefferson County, N. Y.. Historical Society,
and its secretary for six years. In 1892 Dr. Fisk accepted a call to the Church
of Our Father (Unitarian), of Boston (East), a large church and Sunday school,
where his reputation as a charity worker preceding him has brought him actively in
the great field of Boston charity work. He is vice-president of the Unitarian Sunday
School Society, and of the East Boston Charity Organization Society, founder of
the Starr King Unitarian Club, and is a member of the University Club of Boston. •
He has v/ritten much for the daily press in the cities where he has lived and con-
tributed often to the magazines and papers of his church. He visited Europe in
1887, and spent three months with his daughter on the Continent and in E'l eland
and Scotland and Ireland. He received the degree of D. D. from Taft's College
in 1871. Dr. Fisk is a Mason, and is now prelate of William Parkman Com-

that he was a good teacher; was married
Jan. 23, 1861, to Lucy Elizabeth Ames,

his reputation as an artistic violin maker has been earned. His work in this Hne
has received the unstinted commendation of such celebrated violinists as August
Wilhelmj, Edouard Remenyi, George Lehmann, Ferdinand Stark, and many oth-
ers of note, who unhesitatingly tell him that he has no living superior in the world,
as a maker of fine violins, and very few equals. Edouard Remenyi, the great vio-
lin virtuoso, says in the Denver Daily Tribune, Aug. 31, 1883. * * * *
"Among the thousand of ' fiddle makers ' in Europe and America, Mr. Geo. W.
Fisk, of Greeley, Colo., is one out of only four real violin makers that I have found
in my travels over the world. His workmanship is well nigh perfect. * * *
The violin he made for me is a beauty, and has a grand, mellow, magnificent tone.
Mr. Fisk will back up all I have stated of him." Mr. Fisk was married the second

HON. WILLIAM JUSTAN FISK (Joel S., Solomon, Ichabod E.,
Ebenezer, Ebenezer, John, John, Phinehas, Thomas, Robert, Simon, Simon, Will-
iam, Symond), b. Brunswick, O., June 25, 1833; m. at Fond du Lac, Wis., Jan. 8,
1855, Mary J. Driggs, b. Dec. 6, 1834. The boyhood days of the subject of this
memoir were passed in the manner of other boys. Attended such schools as the
community afiforded until he was 14 years of age, and from that time on through
life he has earned his own living. His first work was performed in the land office
in Green Bay in 1848, and while thus engaged he made the maps for the reser-
vation of lands for the improvement of the Fox and Wisconsin Rivers. While an
employe of the land office John Fitzgerald urged him to save his money and
invest his savings in land. So thoroughly did Mr. Fitzgerald impress the matter
upon his mind that the principle of economy was thoroughly ingrafted into him.
Out of his first savings he purchased 120 acres of land, and thusbecame a property
owner before he was 16. In 1849 he became an employe of a jeweler and watch-
maker; the following year he obtained a position as clerk with a Fort Howard
merchant at a salary of twenty-five dollars per montli. At the end of two years,
having saved some money and being desirous of improving his education, he
attended the institute at Appleton, Wis., paying from his savings for his tuition and
board. At the age of 20 years he returned to Fort Howard and at once began
trading in the products brought into the town. Early in his boyhood days he had
displayed his self-reliance, and his father encouraged him in the direction in which
he had started by leaving him to his own resources. During his first year he entered
into a contract with Chancy Lamb, of Clinton, la., to furnish him 400,000 shingles,
at two dollars and a half a thousand. Mr. Lamb took a deep interest in the
FISKE GENEALOGY. 561
young man and encouraged him a great deal. He paid him in advance $i,ooo in
cash for the shingles; and Mr. Fisk now says that that was the largest amount of
money he had ever seen at one time, and made him feel wealthier than he has
ever felt since. In the fall of 1853 Mr. Fisk entered the mercantile business in Fort
Howard, and in 1855 erected a shingle mill, being the second man to manufacture
sawed shingles in the west. His business was prosperous and he was successful
in outside trading, and felt that he was on the high road to permanent prosperity
when the panic of 1857 paralyzed the industries of the country and badly crippled
Mr. Fisk's financial operations, although he remained perfectly solvent. Among
his possessions were 2,000,000 shingles; but there was no market for them. He
therefore suggested to E. A. Goodrich, now the controlling spirit of the Good-
rich Transportation Company, to carry them to Chicago, where they should await
a sale. This was done, but it required two years' time before the shingles were
finally sold. In 1862 Mr. Fisk sold out his mercantile establishment, and in that
year canvassed the county in the interest of voting bonds for the construction of a
railroad. Being well known throughout the county he assisted most materially
in having the necessary aid voted. Some of his experiences were interesting and
humorous. Few persons, indeed, knew what a railroad was, and some of their
ideas, drawn entirely from imagination, displayed dense ignorance. One man said-
he would favor it if it were only a canal; others thought the company would get
the money and not build the road; others, that the road wotild not be used after
it was built; another man, from "York State," who owned forty acres of land, had
seen railroads and knew all about them, said that if the company would run across
the corner of his land and give him a side-track and buy all the wood it needed
of him he would vote in favor of the bonds! After the bonds were voted Mr. Fisk.
took a contract to furnish the timber and ties used in constructing the road between
Appleton and Fort Howard, and also for building the railroad company's docks
and elevator. Since then he has been operating continually with the Northwestern
Railroad, furnishing a large amount of timber and ties for the use of the various
divisions of that road. In 1871 he furnished the material for the construction
of the road to Marinette, and in the following year did the same for the extension
from Menominee to Escanaba. After his elder sons had grown to manhood he
admitted them into the business, and now the firm is known as W. D. Fisk &
Co., composed of himself and W. D. and Harry W. Fisk, two of his sons.
For nearly thirty years Mr. Fisk has been connected with the banking interests
of Green Bay. In 1865 he became a stockholder and director in the First Na-
tional Bank, of Green Bay; in 1870 he became president of the City National Bank,,
and in 1874, when that institution was succeeded by the Kellogg National Bank,
he became vice-president of the last named institution. In 1891 Mr. Kellogg died,
and Mr. Fisk was induced to accept the presidency, and this position he now oc-
cupies. As a financier he enjoys a high reputation, and as a conservative, far-
seeing banker he enjoys the confidence of all classes in the community. He has
been engaged in a great number of enterprises during his business life in Green
Bay, all of which have been benefited by his business ability. Before the advent of
the railroads, communication with the outside world was carried on by boats in
summer and by stages in winter. One company was known as the Green Bay
& Menominee Navigation Company, and he was largely interested in this corpora-
tion, acting as its superintendent during its existence. Mr. Fisk owned large
tracts of timber lands, and at the time of the Peshtigo fire in 1871, some 10,000
acres of valuable timber belonging to him were devoured by the flames; and he also
lost heavily in the Chicago fire at the same time. This was a severe blow to him,
but, undiscouraged, he went manfully to work and soon retrieved his fortunes.
Politically Mr. Fisk is of Democratic antecedents, but is now strongly Republican.
In i860 he voted for Abraham Lincoln, and ever since then he has been a firm
believer in the doctrines of Republicanism. In the early years of his business life
he was Alderman of the city, and at one time filled the position of City Treasurer;
and from 1862 to 1865 he was also Postmaster. In 1875 he was elected a member
of the State Legislature, and was re-elected in 1876 and 1877. He was active, in a
quiet way, in opposition to the "Granger" legislation against railroads, and was
chairman of the committee on railroads when the famous Potter railroad law was
repealed. He has never sought political positions, and has no desire for honors
of that kind. He is a member of the Alasonic fraternity, being now a Knight
Templar. Mr. Fisk's career illustrates forcibly the power of steady application and
36
562 FISKE GENEALOGY.
grit. Very early in life he displayed a degree of self-reliance and business ability
which alone would assure success to any boy. He has overcome all obstacles and
earned for himself the title of "self-made" man in the fullest sense of that often
misused term. He has led an honorable, straightforward life, aiding all feasible
enterprises that would materially benefit the cities of Green Bay and Fort
Howard, and giving from his store to religious and charitable institutions. He is
a member of no church, but believes in the power of religion for good, and the
Young Men's Christian Association has found in him a warm friend and a gen-
erous patron. His career should serve as an inspiration to the younger and convince
them that steady application, energetic grit and honest and upright conduct are the
principles on which true success is founded. Personally Mr. Fisk is courteous
and a pleasant, social companion. All his acts show him to be a retiring, unosten-
tatious gentleman, and he commands the honor and respect of the entire com-
munity; res. Green Bay, Wis.

William, Symond), b. May 28, 1843, in De Pere, Wis.; m. there, Oct. 19, 1868,
Mary J. Lawton, b. Apr. 15, 1844. The name Lawton was originally spelled Lay-
ton. One John Layton, who was born in 1630, in 1652 went with some twenty-
seven others, mostly from Connecticut and other portions of New England colo-
nies, settled in Newtown, Long Island, N. Y., and purchased farms direct from the
Indian owners, although also purchasing titles from the government of New
JSIetherlands, of which Peter Stuyvesant was then governor; and it is worthy of
record that this purchase from the Indians was the only one of that kind made,
'excepting a similar transaction effected by William Penn, in Pennsylvania. During
John Layton's residence in New Netherlands, that colony fell into the hands of
the Duke of York, and on account of the active and prominent part he took
against Governor Stuyvesant, Layton made many enemies among the Dutch col-
•onists. Consequently he moved with his family to Sufheld, Conn., where he died
Sept., 1690, and was buried in the Presbyterian graveyard by the side of his wife,
Benedicta. Their gravestones are still (1894) extant, and the name inscribed
thereon is plainly "Lawton," so that the change of the spelling of the name pre-
sumably must have taken place some time in the latter part of the seventeenth
-century. John Layton married, Sept. 21, 1659, Johanna Williams, by whom he had
■one daughter, Mary. He married, 2d, at Portsmouth, R. I., in 1665, Benedicta, and

heavy hardware and ship chandlery line. For about a year and a half he went back

Julia Pancost Sage, b. June 14, 1845. There are many men whose pro-
fessional ability is considerable; and with that their usefulness and in-
terest to other people end. While, as a surgeon, Dr. Wm. M. L.
Fiske stands among the few leading homeopathic physicians of New York
which he lives. For more than twenty-five years Dr. Fiske has been in active prac-
tice in Brooklyn, N. Y., and in that time he has been president of the New York
State Homeopathic Medical Society and the Kings County Homeopathic Medical
Society. He was one of the founders and organizers of the Brooklyn Homeo-
pathic Hospital and the Brooklyn (E. D.) Homeopathic Dispensary, and he is ex-
medical director of tEe former and consulting surgeon and trustee of the latter,
and consulting surgeon to the Memorial Hospital, besides being connected with
a large number of benevolent institutions of the city.
Dr. Fiske was born in New York City in 1841. His father was Almond D.
Fiske, a well known inventor and manufacturer. He was a member of an old New
England family, and through him Dr. Fiske is a direct descendant of Phineas
Fiske, who came to America in one of the first four ships that brought the New
England colonists, and settled Wenham, Mass. His ancestor, Symond Fiske, was
Lord of the Manor of Shadhaugh, Suffolk, up to the time of the Wars of the
Roses. Edward, second son of Dr. John, son of Phineas Fiske, the direct an-
cestor of Dr. Fiske, lived at the old homestead at Wenham, and died there in 1748.
It is a fact worth notice that the first four graduates of Yale were descended from
this Dr. John Fiske. His grandson and Dr. W. M. L. Fiske's great-grandfather,
Ichabod Ebenezer Fiske, graduated from Yale in 1770, and became a preacher and
scholar of some note. Dr. Fiske's mother was Phoebe Ann Raymond, daughter of
Harvey Raymond, who moved to New York from Albany in 1830.
Dr. Fiske prepared for college at Champlain Academy, New York, and gradu-
ated from the Bellevue Medical College in 1863. Owing to a promise that he
would investigate homeopathy, he afterward attended the New York Homeopathic
Medical College, and thus he twice received the degree of M. D. He has also
received the degree from the New York Board of Regents, which was until re-
cently conferred annually upon one prominent member of the State Medical
Society.
Soon after the war Dr. Fiske undertook the practice of medicine at Aurora,
111., and later at Rochester, N. Y. He entered into partnership in 1870 with his old
preceptor, Dr. Albert Wright, and after the latter's death continued the increasing
practice. Dr. Fiske is the author of a number of monographs on Surgery, pub-
lished in the "Transactions of the State and County Medical Societies." He has
given much attention to the study of heredity, not only in diseases but in mental
traits, and his semi-annual address as president of the State Society, in which he
advocated the enforced celibacy of confirmed criminals, aroused marked attention

and keen discussion. It is to be regretted that his medical practice prevents more
active advocacy of his advanced ideas on this important subject.
Dr. Fiske is a Repubhcan and a member of the Union League, Crescent, West
Hampton Country, Lake Champlain Yacht, Hanover and New Manhattan Clubs.
In 1865 he married Miss Julia P. Sage, of Rochester. Of his three sons, two
are graduates of Columbia and the second is about to become the fifth of the family
to represent his generation in the profession of medicine. In spite of his incessant
work Dr. Fiske knows how to thoroughly enjoy the comforts of life, and his hos-
pitable home is filled with objects of art that he has collected. His only vacation
this summer was a flying trip to Europe to attend a patient there.
In 1862 he enlisted in Company A, of the Forty-seventh Regiment New York
State Militia, as a private soldier. After a month's service in the ranks he was
appointed by General Morris as steward in the convalescent hospital, at Fort Mc-
Henry, and a few weeks later was promoted to acting assistant post surgeon, in
charge of the post hospital, and served in that capacity until the expiration of the
regiment's service; he then returned to Brooklyn, continued his studies at Bellevue
Medical College, and was graduated in 1863. After a few months in private prac-
tice he again entered the service as acting assistant surgeon and remained until the
close of the war. Res. 484 Bedford Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y.

1890. During his course he was active in the general work of
the college, ranking high in his studies throughout all four
years, receiving several honors, including the scholarship in
Greek. He was president of the Barnard Literary Society, the
leading organization of its kind in the university, and an editor
of the Columbiad, the junior publication, besides holding
several offices in his class. He was a leading member of the
D. K. E. fraternity and, when graduated, became a member of
I. B. K. After graduation he traveled in Europe for further
study and recreation, and on his return in 1891 entered the
banking and commission house of J. M. Ceballos & Co., New
York City, with which firm he is still connected. A member
of the Presbyterian Church, he is identified with Y. M. C. A.
work in Brooklyn, being at present one of the board of man-
agers of the Eastern District Branch of this organization. In
social life he takes an active interest and is a member of the
Crescent Athletic Club of Brooklyn and the Circulo Colon

erary Society, an editor of the Columbiad, held several posi-
tions of class distinction, and on graduation was made a mem-
ber of I. B. K. He was also prominently connected with the
D. K. E. fraternity. In 1892 he entered the New York Home-
opathic Medical College, graduating in 1895, securing at that
time the faculty prize for leading scholarship of his class during
his three years' course and the alumni prize for the foremost
student of the senior year. He was also valedictorian, the
commencement orator and senior president of his class.
Among class organizations he was prominent in the A. E. and
Hahnemann societies. He also served in the New York
(Chambers Street) and Lying-in Hospitals and Brooklyn

course at the New York Ophthalmic College and Hospital.

His early education was received in the district schools. He was thoroughly
grounded in the principles of agriculture by his father who cultivated vast farms.
To complete John's education a short time was spent at Cazenovia Seminary,
which plan the father did not approve, as he believed all knowledge could be
gained by observation and practice, and as he wanted his son to be a farmer,
time at school was thrown away. At the age of 21 John married. One of the
numerous farms was settled upon John at his marriage. The old Ford house on
the Ford farm became the home of John and his lovely wife. After the father's
death in Mar., 1866, John came into possession of the old Fiske homestead where
he now resides and the Blair farm. John has been a very successful farmer; he
has expended vast sums of money in his buildings. He rebuilt the old house,
tore down the old barns and built a very large modern barn instead, with accom-
modations for fifty head of cattle as well as eight horses. Two large hop kilns
were built with accommodation for curing fifty thousand pounds of hops. John
has made a thorough study of the cultivation of small fruits. One year he mar-
keted one hundred bushels of strawberries. He has also gone into grape culture.
He has a fine vineyard" containing over seven hundred vines. This present year
he will market three thousand pounds of grapes. He has a fine cherry and pear
orchard started. The subject of our sketch is an active member of the Congrega-
tional Church. He is a member of the Grangers' Lodge, of the Equitable Aid
Union and of the Free Mason's Lodge. He is regarded by all who know him
well a model of strict integrity; res. Lebanon, N. Y.

bership of fifty girls between the ages of 12 and 30. It is an
acknowledged fact that the club has done a vast amount of
good. The subject of this sketch is also interested in a boys'
club, whose object is the same as the girls, i. e., the greatest
possible development of character. She helped organize the
club and directed the drawing up of the by-laws. She is also
a member of an association whose aim is to found a home for
old people. She is interested in all legitimate sports with the
exception of riding a "wheel," which she does not approve for
ladies.

was born near Battleboro, Vt. ;
was well educated; fitted for col-

that he should enter "Williams,"
but all his tastes were for busi-
ness, and after traveling with his
father a year he went to Jordan
& Marsh (Mr. Jordan being a
friend of his father's) as a clerk.
The second year he did so well
and had so many original ideas
that Tie was taken into the firm
as an equal partner. Later he
went to New York Citv. and for
a time was the leading financier
in that city, being largely inter-
ested with Jay Gould in the Erie
Railway, until he was murdered
by Stokes in 1872.
A person who knew him inti-
mately writes as follows: "He
never drank. On the contrary,
he was elegant in manner, gentle
and courtly, and had the most gen-
erous, unselfish heart of any per-
son I ever knew. Hewas very fond
of dress and display, but never of
the vulgar sort; he had no low
tastes and (like his father) was al-
ways temperate. I have often
heard him say: 'Well, you may
drink the wine if it pleases you, but give me my little cup of tea.' He was very
fond of tea, and when he had any great 'deal' (as he was wont to call it) on the
tapis, he would drink quantities of tea. He was the man who planned a great deal
of the business for himself and Jay Gould when they were together. Mr. Gould
was delicate and small while Mr. Fisk was the perfection of manly health and
beauty. I have often heard him tell Mr. Gould to 'jump over in the sugar bowl
and take a nap and let me do the hard work.' Every one who knew him loved
him; he had the happiest, sweetest, and most unsuspicious disposition God ever

gave to any living man. The day he was murdered by Stokes a friend went to him
and said, ' Fisk, you will gain your suit today (he had a suit against Stokes for
$60,000, money he had loaned him), but do I pray you look out for Stokes for he
is a bad one.' Fisk replied: ' Oh! no, you are mistaken; he would no more harm
me than I would him.' After Fisk's death his father was ill for a year; in fact
insane, made so by the shock of his death. He (his father) was walking up Broad-
way and heard the news from boys crying it in the street. He fell unconscious
and remained so twenty-four hours. He never saw his dearly loved boy again;
he recovered his mind but his health never." He d. s. p. Jan. 7, 1872; res. New

Elizabeth Houghton, b. Mar. 5, 1843. W. H. Fisk, Jr., was educated in private
and public schools in New Brunswick, N. J., and after clerking in New York for
half a dozen years returned home and took a position in a wholesale liquor house
as bookkeeper and head salesman. In 1884 he became reporter and afterward
assistant editor of the Times, the leading Democratic paper in Middlesex County,
N. J., and for a year or more — while Mr. A. E. Gordon, the proprietor, was United
States Marshal, and afterward when he had a paralytic stroke — wrote all the
editorials and did all the local work besides, sometimes working twenty hours a
day and seldom less than fourteen. On one occasion he went sixty hours with
only a couple of hours' sleep, and covered a report of a trip to Trenton and Bucks
County, Pennsylvania, and an excursion of a local order to Keyport, getting up
the editorials and most of the local matter besides. Singularly the work seemed
to do him good, as he felt no fatigue and did not miss the loss of sleep. On one
occasion, in 1887, he reported the proceedings of the State convention of the
Knights of Pythias, there being over nine hundred delegates present and wrote the
matter out in full while doing so in order to gain time to do other work. On his
return home he found the report had been lost, but, nothing daunted, sat down and
rewrote the matter while it was fresh in his memory. He was highly congratu-
lated by many of the Knights who knew of the loss of the papers. In 1889 he
started the first and only Sunday paper in New Brunswick or the county, or rather
purchased the plant after it had run six months and was about to be discontinued.
He ran this paper until the summer of 1895, when he stopped its publication, owing
to a variety of causes, principally of a political nature. It was an independent
paper but with Democratic tendencies; res. New Brunswick, N. J.

schools, graduating in 1884, with high honors from the high
school. While in the latter school he did some newspaper
work on The Times, and continued it for some time as city
editor, until he went to study law in the office of Arnoux, Ritch
& Woodford, in New York City. He was also in Judge
Cowenhoven's office. The study of law did not suit him and
he returned to his first love and became city editor on the
Home News. In 1889 he entered St. Stephen's College at An-
nandale, N. Y., taking a special course with the idea of entering
the Episcopal ministry, and during the three years' course took
all the first prizes and was congratulated publicly by one of the
most eminent preachers in the country. In 1893 he entered
the General Theological Seminar\- in New York City, and
took the prize for an essay, two hundred college students com-

and has stood at the head of all the classes he has entered.
During the second and third years of his course he acted as lay-
reader, and by special permission wrote his own sermons and
had charge of a church in Rahwa}-, N. J., in 1895. This he

Old Rutgers College has sent but few of her sons to the metropolis, but the
proportion of those who have mapped out their life work and attained success
there is very large in comparison with that of other colleges. Haley Fiske's rise
in reputation and prosperity has been a continuous one since the day of his gradu-
ation at Rutgers in 1871. He was born in New Brunswick, N. J., Mar. 18, 1852.
His parents, Wm. H. and Sarah H. Fiske, were born in Yonkers and New York
City respectively, and settled for a time in New Brunswick, where Mr. Fiske was
prepared for college in the school of Henry Waters, afterward well known as the
Poughkeepsie school master. While in college Mr. Fiske was a member of the
Philoclean Literary Society and the fraternity of Delta Phi. After leaving college
he tried journalism for a year or two and then studied law with the firm of Arnoux,
Ritch & Woodford, in which firm he subsequently became a partner. He re-
mained such until his election as vice-president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company, in Oct., 1891. He had previously for many years had special charge of
the legal business of that corporatioti. During his career as a lawyer he was en-
gaged in many notable cases, the last of which, just before his retirement, being the
Fayerweather Will contest. He was largely concerned in the settlement of the
probate contest, culminating in the deed of gift by which so many colleges
throughout the country were benefited. In the present suits over this settlement,
in which five colleges appear as plaintiffs, Mr. Fiske represents Yale University
and Rutgers College, defending the will and the settlement. Mr. Fiske is a di-
rector in and counsel for the Duluth Manufacturing Company, the Iron Car Equip-
ment Company, treasurer of the church of St. Mary the Virgin, in West 45th Street,
now become a wealthy corporation, and is vice-president of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company. This company stood second among the great companies in
the successful pursuit of business during the last fiscal year, and is now housed in
its new building at 23d Street and Madison Avenue, a model of simplicity and
elegance, built at a cost of nearly $2,000,000 by Napoleon Le Brun, the architect.
He is a member of the Players', Grolier, Church and Delta Phi clubs and of the
Bar Association. In politics he is allied to the Democratic party. It would be
difficult to find in the whole range of the New York College Alumni Associations
a more genial, delightful companion of equal ability. He is endowed by nature
with those traits that make leaders among men; res. i Madison Ave., New York,

and Rhoda E. (Strickland) Fisk, was born in Springville Township, Susquehanna
Co., Pa. He is the fourth son of a family of twelve children. His eldest brother
died in early infancy. There are still living six brothers and one sister of this
large family, two sisters and three brothers with the parents having passed on to
that unknown life, of which we hear so much and know so little. At about the
close of the Civil War, in 1865, his parents moved from Pennsylvania to Illinois
and located on a farm in Whiteside Co. Here the young doctor had the benefit
of a country school in the winter and worked on the farm in the summer. In
some mysterious manner he managed to get education enough so that he passed
an examination and obtained a teacher's certificate and began teaching school in
1875. The following summer he visited his old home in Pennsylvania, and went
on to Philadelphia to the Centennial Exposition, where he remained about two
weeks. From there he went to Washington and visited the White House. Re-
turning from Washington to Sterling, 111., he attended the teachers' normal
school and received his degree in the form of a first grade certificate for teaching

of 1878 he went west and spent a part of two years in Kansas and Nebraska.
He was united in marriage to Stella A. Martindale in Morrison, Whiteside Co.,
111., soon after locating in Iowa. In 1882 he moved to Keokuk, la., and attended
lectures at the College of Physicians and Surgeons and received the degree of M. D.
on Feb. 26, 1884. Politically he has always voted with the reform movement on
national questions, casting his first presidential vote for Peter Cooper. He was
selected as a delegate-at-large to the National Convention held in

livelihood by working out at farm work until he arrived at the age of 17, attending
the common school winters. At the age of 17 he entered Northern Illinois Col-
lege and GrifBth's School of Oratory at Fulton, 111., and at the end of the first year
succeeded in procuring a teacher's certificate and thereafter taught school during
the winters and atteded college during vacations, also reading law as occasion
permitted, until the spring of 1885, when he entered the law offices of WoodruflF

mitted to practice, and has been in active practice ever since. In 1889 he re-
moved to Grand Forks and entered into partnership with Tracy R. Bangs,
under the firm name of Bangs & Fisk, and their law business has been steadily
increasing until their practice is now one of the largest in the State. Two years
ago he was appointed as a member of a commission to revise, codify and com-
pile the laws of this State into seven codes. The work has recently been completed
and is considered a credit to the young State of North Dakota. He has served in
several offices, among which is Assistant United States Attorney for the district
of North Dakota, and Assistant State's Attorney; also City Attorney of Larimore,
Grand Forks and East Grand Forks. He voted for Cleveland in 1884, and has
been a Democrat ever since, but Democrats are scarce in this community. He ran

b. Marlboro, Conn., June 6, 1857; m. Charlton, Mass., Nov. 25, 1880, Lida R. Sey-
mour, b. Mar. 26, 1856. William was born in Marlboro, Conn., June 26, 1857, the
youngest of four children. His father was a Congregational minister, and his
mother daughter of a Congregational minister. He was therefore carefully reared
and instructed in the Bible and catechism, and was peculiarly sensitive to and re-
ceptive of religious impressions. Failing health led his father six years later to a
farm in East Haddam, Conn., where William was taught at home by his mother.
For reading the Bible through in course when eight years old he was given his
first Bible by his mother. The following year he united with the Congregational
Church in Colchester, Conn., whither the family moved to educate the children at
Bacon Academy. In 1869 he went to Wolcott, Conn., for three years, going to
school winters and working on a farm summers. In 1872 the family removed to
Charlton, Mass.. when he went to Wilbraham to prepare at Wesleyan Academy
to enter the senior class of the scientific course in Williston Seminary, Easthamp-
ton, Mass., graduating second in the class June 16, 1875. His first venture in busi-
ness life was rewarded with fine success as general agent for New England of a
firm in Bogota, South America. He represented the same firm at the Centennial
in Philadelphia, 1876, and there first met the young lady from Ohio, who subse-
quently became his wife. Visiting Baltimore in 1877, he became acquainted with
Mr. Henry W. Eastman, an inventor and, a resident of Baltimore. With him he
entered into partnership for the general introduction throughout the country of
Eastman's Alterable Church Registers, a convenient directory of church services
for hotels and public buildings. On Nov. 25, 1880, at Charlton, Mass., he married
Miss Lida Robertson Seymour, of Oberlin, Ohio. Their first settlement and ex-
perience in housekeeping was in Cleveland, Ohio, during the summer of 1881.
Finding the location unsuited to the best interests of the national character of the
firm's business, Mr. Fiske decided, after visiting Washington, Baltimore, New
York and Philadelphia to locate permanently in Philadelphia, which he did in Jan.,
1882. The following May his first child, a son, was born who died the following
November and was laid to rest in the family lot in Southington, Conn., on Thanks-
giving day. In 1883 he bought out the interest of Mr. Eastman, of Baltimore, in
the firm of Eastman & Fiske and continued the business and manufacture of hotel
church directories under his own name as publisher. Mr. and Mrs. Fiske on making
their home in Philadelphia at once identified themselves with the Northminster
Presbyterian Church, of which ]\Ir. Fiske was chosen a ruling elder in 1887, and has
held this office for the past nine years; res 3319 Hamilton St., Philadelphia, Pa.

current that at times is exceedingly dangerous. After disrob-
ing at the bath houses the party walked down to the surf, and
Mrs. Fisk and her two sons, Harrison Otis and Clinton, en-
tered the water. The others of the party came in a few min-
utes later. All were bathing, as they thought, at a safe distance
from the beach, and all went well, when a cry was heard for
help. It was noticed that Harrison had ventured out beyond
his depth and was struggling in the water. The little fellow's
cries seemed to create a panic among the bathers. The elder
son, Clinton, rushed to his brother's rescue, and it seemed that
he, too, had gone beyond his depth and was in danger. At
this instant all the ladies in the party seemed to realize the
danger to the boys and all appeared to rush headlong into the
foamy billows. In the excitement there were noticed two or
three heavy cross seas racing up and down and a whirl in the
foam that told the startled onlookers that the party was in the
midst of a deadly whirlpool. Mrs. Fisk was seen floundering
about in the water, and the young women made an attempt to
reach her, but they were engulfed in the swiftly flowing tide
and drowned. Some strollers on the beach made an effort to
rescue the drowing women, but they only succeeded in bring-
ing Mrs. Fisk to shore. She was unconscious, and was resus-
citated with difficulty. The bodies of the other two women
were recovered, but young Fisk's body was carried out to sea.
S184. HARRISON GREY FISKE (Lyman E., William H., Hezekiah, Asa,
David, John, John, Nathaniel, William, Robert, Simon, Simon, William, Symond),
b. New York City, Jiily 30, 1861; m. Mar. 19, 1890, Minnie Maddern. Mrs.' Fiske
began to star at 15. If ever the American stage had a veritable enfant de la
balle in its history that child was Minnie Maddern. Born of professional parents
— for her mother, Lizzie Maddern, was an actress, and her father, Tom Davies,
the pioneer circuit manager of the west— she was literally cradled in the theater,
reared in the glare of the footlights, inoculated from her birth with the atmos-
phere of the theater and a mistress of the secrets of the playhouse even while her
baby tongue could not yet distinctly speak her native language. By parent-
age she is English. Her maternal grandmother was a girl of good family, who,
while still in her teens, eloped with her music master, a proceeding frowned up-
on by the family, who at once cast her off. Being very much enamored of her music
lover, this did not trouble her at all, and the young people proceeded to be happy
on nothing a year and to raise a large family. When the children were seven
they thought of America as more roomy than England for a family that increased
so rapidly, and they emigrated. All the children were musical, so the father
formed a concert company, in which each of the youngsters played some in-
strument, and Lizzie Maddern (afterward the mother of Minnie), in a high comb

and queer pantalettes, at the age of 12,
was the first cornet of the strolling band,
it is a tradition in the family that Lizzie
Maddern at that age could score the
music for t!ie orchestra, and did it. The
Maddern family produced quite a num-
ber of respectable actors and actresses,
while Tom Davies, who married Lizzie
Maddern, is well remembered by those
posted on theatrical affairs. He was a
small, red-haired man of a temper as
violent as his mind was erratic, and his
escapades and his eccentricities were in
his time the topic of many a strolling
tale. Minnie Maddern inherited her
father's red hair and something of his
temperament. She began her profes-
sional career at the age of 3. At the age
of 14 she had drifted into comic opera.
At the age of 15 she became the star
of a lurid melodrama. At the time the
writer first saw her she was a slight girl,
with the daintiest of hands and feet, and
as sweet a voice as ever spoke across
the footlights. She was a creature of
suggestions, an unearthly sort of a girl,
with her tousled red hair, her white face,
her thin, nervous lips and her deep gray
eyes. But she was only a girl, more re-
markable for what she might become
than for what she was. Her youth, her red hair, her dainty, girlish figure had sug-
gested to a manager that here might be another mintmaker — another Lotta.
l>Iow, the antipodes are not wider apart than Minnie Maddern and Lotta, but
the mistake was made and she was started wrong in her career. In her unde-
veloped mind were only dim ideas of her future, and so she drifted on the way
that others marked out for her, doing the
work allotted for her, indifferently going
from one trifling play to another, perhaps
dimly conscious of the mistake that had
been made, possibly as dimly conscious
that time alone would remedy the blunder,
A brief review of Mrs. Fiske's more im-
portant associations will interest even the
casual friend of the stage. She played
the round of child's parts with Barry Sul-
livan, and later with Lucille Western.
She was the original Little Fritz in J.
K. Emmet's first productions at Wal-
lack's and Niblo's; she appeared with
Laura Keene in "Hunted Down" during
the New York run of that play; she ap-
peared as Prince Arthur in the notable
revival of "King John" at Booth's The-
ater, with John McCullough, J. B.
Booth and Agnes Booth; as Paul in
"The Octoroon;" as Franko in "Guy
Mannering," with Mrs. Waller; Sibyl in

Mrs. Scott Siddons; Hilda in Emmet's "Karl and Hilda;" Ralph Rackstraw in

of "The Ice Witch," and she also appeared in "Aladdin," "The White Fawn," and
other spectacular pieces. Mrs. Fiske is a woman of intensely active intellectuality
and her five years of comparative seclusion have been fruitful in more ways
than one.
Harrison Grey Fiske, the editor and proprietor of The Mirror, was born in
Harrison, Westchester County, N. Y. He attended private schools in New York,
studied music and the languages for several years, acquired a knowledge of elo-
cution and rhetoric from the late George Vandenhofif. when abroad, was prepared
for college by a tutor, and finally entered the New York University. His tastes
were essentially literary and artistic, and during his stay at college he wrote many
sketches and short stories for the newspapers, and sent New York letters regularly
to several southern and western dailies. He held his first staff position on the
Jersey City Argus, writing editorials and dramatic criticisms. In July, 1879,
he became attached to The Mirror, as a special contributor, and in the fall of the
same year bought an interest in the stock company that then owned it. The fol-
lowing winter Mr. Fiske was selected by the company to take editorial charge.
He was 18 years of age at the time, the youngest editor in the country. In spite
of his youth he conceived and adopted a sagacious, independent and vigorous pol-
icy which speedily put The Mirror in the van of stage journals, bringing it influ-
ence, prosperity and the largest circulation ever achieved by any dramatic paper
in the world. Five years ago Mr. Fiske obtained a controlling interest in The Mir-
ror, but from the day he took charge of its destinies he had enjoyed sole power,
acting upon such advice as commended itself to his judgment, but brooking no
interference from stockholders or others in respect to the lines of his own
journalistic policy. Last May he purchased the outstanding shares of stock and
became the sole and responsible proprietor. Mr. Fiske does a vast amount of
work and yet is accessible to a large number of visitors. He writes the editorials,
the principal dramatic criticisms, "The Usher," special articles, paragraphs — in
fact, his busy pen contributes to almost every department of the paper. On an
average he turns out between ten and twelve columns during the working hours
of the early days of the week. In addition to this he supervises every portion of
the paper and keeps a strict watch on every line that goes into it. This latter duty
is somewhat unusual among editors, but Mr. Fiske realizes the importance and
never neglects it. He prefers to share personal knowledge of everything that he
publishes with personal responsibility for it. And he likes work. For the past
nine years he has never been absent from his post but once. On that occasion
illness confined him to his home for a week. Even then, however, he had the
"revises" brought to him and with the aid of a blue pencil transformed the sick
chamber into a sanctum. At difTerent times Mr. Fiske has been the dramatic critic
of two New York daily papers and written editorials for another. But he relin-
quished outside work of every description two years ago in order to devote his
whole time and energies to The Mirror. He is a member of the New York Press
Club, the Fellowcraft Club, a yachting association, and several other social and
literary institutions, but the only organization in which he takes an active personal
interest is the Actor's Fund of America, of which he has been the secretary for sev-
eral years. Res. s. p. New York, N. Y. ; add. 1432 Broadway.

was given a good common school education and graduated from Cady's Academy,
in the town of Barrington, R. I. He entered Brown University in the fall of
1875. Owing to severe illness, on completing his freshman year he was compelled
to leave the university. He engaged as clerk for two years with the Boston &
Philadelphia S. S. Co. In Jan., 1879, he accepted a position with the Howard Ster-
ling Company, silversmiths. He commenced at the lowest rung of the ladder. On
Dec. 31, 1891, he was promoted as secretary of the company above mentioned,
which position he occupies. While in Brown University he was first tenor in the
Glee Club, and since then he has identified himself with several musical organiza-

"Major General" in the Pirates of Penzance, and the "Marquis" in Chimes of

1841. After he became of age and married, he went out west to Iowa, where he
remained until 1865, and meantime made quite a little fortune in the grain ware-
housing business and otTier ventures. He was then induced to come east and to go
into the stock market, which resulted rather badly. Gradually he, being a stanch
Republican, became more or less prominent in political life, and held important
governmental positions and always with great credit. Under President Grant, he
was United States Marshal for the Southern District of New York, succeeding
Gen. Geo. H. Sharpe. His methods and office were examined by a Democratic
State Committee and the result was a testimonial to his capability, etc., from the
committee. Some years after this he was sent to the State Legislature as member
of Assembly from Richmond County, which is noteworthy, as the county was
then ordinarily Democratic, by twelve hundred to sixteen hundred majority. He
has now retired from active life, and is in good health; res. New Brighton, N. Y.

b. Weston, Mass., Apr. 13, 1827; m. California, Apr. 15, i860, Elizabeth Wyne-
koop, b.^ Aug. 24, 1834. He was born in Weston, Apr. 13, 1827. Like all New England
farmers' boys he worked on the farm in spring and summer and attended the dis-
trict school in winter; also attended the high school in Weston. He lived two and
one-half miles from the high school in Weston Centre, consequently it was too far
to walk, and with three or four sisters, older than himself, rode to school, keep-
ing horse and carriage until night to take them home. He afterward attended
Phillips Academy in Andover. He has a vivid recollection of going from there
to attend the Whig celebration at Bunker Hill in 1844; of meeting there his father
and brother and many friends. At the age of 18 he left home and went to the city
of Worcester to learn a trade, that of working in sheet metals. He spent two
years there, then one year in the city of Nashua, N. H., after that one year in
Clintonville, and the balance of the time, until going to California, in Boston,
Waltham and Grafton. In 185 1 his brother Edward and himself made arrange-
ments to go to California. They had the usual experience of the California
bound in those early days. That is, they were taken up the Chargees River in
boats rowed by the natives, spent one night at Gorgona, and then mounted mules
and rode to Panama. Here they found no boat to take them on the Pacific side.
They remained in Panama nearly two months and took the first passage that could
be obtained to San Francisco, where they arrived in good health and spirits.
His brother Edward went up to the mines for a short time and he stopped
in Sacramento. After a few months Edward came to Sacramento and they both
went to San Francisco, where they succeeded in finding employment at their
trade, which they followed diligently for nearly a year, then commenced busi-
ness on their own account. This business was continued up to 1891. In 1856 he
visited his old home. That was about the time the Free Soil party was started.
Colonel Fremont was at that time in San Francisco, and they became acquainted
with him and Mrs. Fremont through business relations. A few vears after his
return to San Francisco he chartered a large schooner, filled her with goods and
shipped them to Mexico. He spent nearly a year in Mazatland, Tepic, San Bias
FISKE GENEALOGY. 587
and other places in Mexico, while his brother attended to the business in San
Francisco. He returned to San Francisco about the time of the breaking out of
the Civil War, and shortly thereafter went to Virginia City, in Nevada. That was
not long after the Comstock mines were discovered. He remained there twenty-
one months, removed his family there and built a house for them. They sent over
half a dozen of their best men and did a large roofing business as the town grew
up. Spent much time also in mining operations, and lost a large amount^ of
money also by them. Shortly after his return to San Francisco his brother died,
and from that time to the present his home has been in San Francisco. He has
done an extensive business on that coast, extending to the neighboring States and
territories and employing many men. The season that the Palace Hotel was built
they had in ftieir employ over 175 men, about half that number employed on that
building. Res. 710 Central Ave., San Francisco, Cal.

he went to Boston and became connected with James Edmond & Co. in the manu-
facture of fire brick, clay retorts, and the importation of sewer pipe, fire brick,
etc. In 1877 the firm of Fiske, Coleman & Co. was formed in the same line of
business. In 1880 the business was merged into a corporation, the Boston Fire
Brick Company. The Boston Terra Cotta Company was also organized, Mr.
Fiske taking the treasurership of the latter, and his firm the management of both

5348. MAJOR WILBUR DAVIS FISKE (Carlisle A., Elias, Simeon. Henry,
Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathaniel, William, Robert, Simon, Simon, William,
Symond), b. Pleasant Valley, Conn., June 7, 1841; m. Feb. i, 1866, Agnes Hosmer
Andrews, b. Nov. 9, 1843. Wilbur Davis Fiske, born in Barkhampsted, Conn.,
June 7, 1841, and lived there, and at Pleasant Valley, Conn., until he was 7 years
old, when his mother died, and his father took him to live with a man in Pleasant
Valley, named Closes. Then, about one year after that, he took him to Springfield,
Mass., and in a short time to Stafford, Conn, to live with his aunt, Mary E. Cush-
nian. Some time after this his father married again, and resided at Springfield.
Wilbur did not stay long, but went back to his Aunt ^Mary's. He stayed there
a year or two, and worked for a neighbor, Mr. Cummings. Went back to
Springfield on a visit, and went to work there for Edmund Bigelow, Esq., and
was with him three or four years. He sent him to school winters at his home
in Bennington, Vt., and he lived with his father, Dr. William Bigelow, one of
God's noblemen. In the fall of 1857, his time at Springfield had expired with Ed-
mund Bigelow, and he made arrangements with a doctor in Pittsfield, Mass., to
go there and study medicine under him, but on account of the panic of 1857 did not
go, but went to New Britain, Conn., with Buckley & Newton, to learn the ma-
chinist trade, and steam and hydraulic engineering. They built the gas works and
water works for New Britain, and did work all about that section of country. The
war broke out; he was then first assistant engineer of the New Britain fire depart-
ment; he enlisted and helped raise a company for the Fourteenth Regiment Con-
necticut Volunteers. He was just then coming to be 21 years old, and before he
left the State, was made a Freemason in the lodge at New Britain; went to war with
the Fourteenth Regiment, Company F, and was attached to the Second Corps,
Army of the Potomac. Antietam was his first real battle. At the battle of Freder-
icksburg, Va., he was in command of the company, and was dangerously wounded,
Dec. 13. 1862. Doctors said he could not live but five or six hours; shot through
the stomach. He went home, got better, went back, and was just on time to go
through the Chancellorsville battle, under Gen. Joe Ho6ker; then he was soon ofiF
for Gettysburg campaign, and the battle of Gettysburg. The boys did them-
selves proud on that field. They helped stop Pickett's charge, and were just at the
right of the bloody angle, and captured six stands of rebel colors in that charge,
more than any other regiment got on that day. It was the grandest day he had
ever seen in his whole life. When the fight was over that night, it was estimated
that he weighed a little over 200 tons. On Oct. 14, 1863, he was wounded again, at
the battle of Bristoe Station; then after that, had a beautiful typhoid fever that
mustered him out of the service, and he has never seen a well day since; went
home to Springfield, Mass., and worked for Mr. E. Bigelow again about six
months, then engaged with Geo. Dwight, Jr., & Co., in steam and hydraulic en-
gineering business, and the manufacture of steam pumps. They soon sent him to
Boston, Mass., to open a warehouse there for them. He stayed there about one and
a half years, and the company was changed to the Norwalk Iron Works. He then
left them, and went to work for Knowles & Sibley, manufacturers of the Knowles
steam pumps, with his headquarters in New York, and established a warehouse in
New York for them. For nine or ten years, with headquarters in New York, he
traveled all over the United States, sold pumping machinery for all purposes, and
established agencies all over the country and Canada, and the company finally be-
came the Knowles Steam Pump Works. After the great Boston fire he came to
Boston to establish business on a better plan for the New England and Canadian
trade, and opened a warehouse in Boston for this purpose, and in about six
years thereafter the Knowles Steam Pump Works was sold to the Geo. F. Blake
Manufacturing Company, who now run both concerns separately. Since that
time he has been the general agent of both concerns for the New England States,
and sometimes has been called out of the New England States, and has taken
charge of all water works contracts in this territory, and the erection of the pump-
ing machinery, and attended to the selling department in all of its multiform variety
for pumping air. gas, water, or any other liquids known, and to be actuated by
steam, electricity, belt, or geared power for all purposes, and is still in this same
concern and business with headquarters in Boston, Mass. He lives in Melrose,
Mass., and belongs to the Wyoming Lodge, Waverly Chapter, Hugh de Payens
Commandery, U. S. Grant Post No. 4 G. A. R., a member of the First Congre-
gational Church, and in politics a black Republican. He has filled several town

Androus, b. Ann Arbor, Mich., Sept. 27, 1842. He was born in Coldwater,
Mich., where he was raised on a farm until he was 18 years old. At that age he
went to Albion, Mich., to college to finish his education, after which he was em-
ployed in the Coldwater postofifice and bank for several years, in 1859-60. In 1861
came the firing upon Fort Sumter, the tocsin of a "wicked and gigantic rebellion."
The loyal young men of Michigan sprang to arms. Mr. Fiske was among the first
to join the Coldwater cadets, a militia company already organized. Within a few
hours after that eventful 12th of April, the cadets were drilling daily in the public
square, cheered and encouraged by the admiring eyes of hundreds who gathered
around them. The cadets were soon accepted and became Company C of the
First Michigan Infantry. After a short stop in Detroit they were hurried on to
Washington, which they reached May 16, where they were welcomed by the
cheers of hundreds, as they were the first western regiment to reach the capitol.
They made the first advance across the Long Bridge, driving in the rebel pickets.

CAPT. SMITH WILBUR FISKE.
taking possesion of Alexandria May 24,
the ill-fated Ellsworth reaching it by
stream at about the same hour. After
the shooting of Ellsworth, the Michigan
men helped the enraged zouaves in
despoiling the Marshall House, where
the tragic affair occurred, and Mr. Fiske
has still in his possession a piece of
gilded frame of a mirror, which he car-
ried away as a memento of the afifair.
July found the Michigan boys still at the
front: and Mr. Fiske writes to the home
folks froin Little Rocky Run, Va., under
date of July 20, "that they are only six
miles from Manassas Junction, within
two and a half miles from the enemy's
strongest fortification, that they are ex-
pecting orders to move at any moment,
and all are in readiness. They would
probably go forward that night, and the
supposition was that a great battle would
soon take place." He was right. They
did move that night, and when daylight
came, it was the morning of that terrible
Sunday, July 21, when our newly united
troops fought the great battle of Manas-
sas, or Bull Run, which ended in a com-
plete panic and rout of the Union forces
and a retreat on Washington. The
First Michigan was in the thickest
of the fight and lost heavily. Many of the Coldwater boys were killed or
missing. Clinton B. Fisk, afterward a well known General, wrote from Wash-
ington, on July 23, of saved and missing, and mentioned Smith Fiske as having
a slight injury to one knee. Mr. Fiske became First Lieutenant in the Nineteenth
Michigan Infantry early in 1862, but was obliged to resign June, 1863, on account
of severe illness. But two months later we find him recruiting for the Ninth
Michigan Cavalry, which was organized at Coldwater, Mich., and he became First
Lieutenant of Company K. He left for Kentucky with his regiment May 20,
having been married to Miss Mary N. Androus May 7. He left his bride with the
promise that if possible he would send for her. They remained in camp near
Hickman Bridge for three weeks, Mrs. Fiske reaching there a few hours before
they broke camp. She saw him again for a few moments July 4 at Stamford.
Then the regiment disappeared and their friends knew nothing of their where-
abouts for nearly three weeks, except that they were in chase of General Morgan
and his southern guerrillas, who were carrying terror into the homes of Kentucky,
Indiana and Ohio. Mrs. Fiske not being able to hear from her husband, finally
went on to Cincinnati, hoping that there she might gain news of his whereabouts.
All was confusion, marshal law having been proclaimed, and many troops massed
around the city. On July 24 the Ninth Regiment cavalry reached Covington and
camped in pleasant quarters, and on that same Friday afternoon Mrs. Fiske found
a boarding place within a short walk of camp, and they hoped now to be together
for a few days at least. At 4 a. m., July* 25. the regiment again departed.
Lieutenant Fiske being in command of Company K, supposing they were going
out on picket duty around Cincinnati. And that was the last Mrs. Fiske knew of
their movements, until Sunday at 8 p. m. she received the following telegram
from Surgeon Nash at Salineville, O.: "Lieutenant Smith Fiske is dangerously
wounded. Come at once." Taking a train at Cincinnati that same evening at
10 Mrs. Fiske reached her husband's side on Monday at 6 p. m.. But to go back
to the reeiment: When they left camp Saturday morning they were hurried into
box cars and taken as rapidly as possible to northeast Ohio to cut ofif Morgan's
retreat. Morgan, being tracked, was soon overtaken, when skirmishing com-
menced and continued until dark, with some loss in wounded, driving the enemy
during the entire night. On the morning of the 26th. Morgan being flanked and
FISKE GENEALOGY. 603
hard pressed, was forced into an engagement, which resulted, after a severe fight
of an hour and a half, in the complete rout of his forces, with a loss of 23
killed, 44 wounded and 305 prisoners, while the detachment of the
Ninth lost in wounded Lieutenant Fiske and 7 men. The pursuit was con-
tinued, Morgan flying in confusion, until, meeting with the forces under General
Shackelford a few hours later, he surrendered. Lieutenant Fiske was shot in the
breast about 8 a. m., the bullet going through the body, stopping just below the
skin, where it was cut out. It missed his heart by half an inch, passing through
the lower part of the lung. He was soon carried to a neighboring farm house, and
the wound dressed by the Surgeon, he being the only officer injured in the
skirmish. Surgeon Nash met Mrs. Fiske Monday evening at the station and
took her out to Mr. Sharp's farm. As they reached the locality of the fight it
seemed like a gala day, as hundreds had come from near and far to see what was
to be seen. As one of them said, he never had a chance to see a wounded man
before — and he an officer. There were at least two or three hundred men, women
and children crowded around the house, pressing into doors and windows. It
was a terribly hot July day. The Lieutenant was lying in the wing of a log
house, the room and yard full. The bed itself was surrounded by a number of
young girls busy fanning and waiting upon him, while he was gasping for want of
air. Six long weeks they remained in that log house. The hot, dusty August days
were very trying, with no blinds or shades to the widows, and the walls and bed-
stead filled with bed bugs. It was not until six weeks that Lieutenant Fiske began
to improve, in spite of the doctors, who insisted that he would not live, and the
middle of September found him strong enough to be put on a bed and carried. to
the town, four miles away, where he was gladly welcomed to the best house in the
village, the home of Mr. Nickerson. They gave up the parlor for their use, and
showered upon them kindnesses of all kinds. Mrs. Fiske says she will never for-
get how good that first supper tasted, the first good meal she had had in many
weeks. When Mr. Fiske was able to talk he had many visitors from the sur-
rounding farms, all anxious to see and hear him tell of his experiences. He
vividly remembers one man who spent an hour or two in telling him how he
appreciated his bravery, and finally, on his leaving, presenting him with a silver
half dollar as a token of his regard. Bread and cake were brought from twenty
and thirty miles, and at one time Mrs. Fiske said she had the bureau drawer full
of such tokens. The days passed swiftly, and late in September they were able
to reach Cleveland and take the boat for Detroit, from whence by rail to
Coldwater, which they reached early in October. In November, 1863, on ac-
count of disability he resigned, and was then appointed postmaster in Coldwater,
Mich., which he held until the Democratic administration took charge, after
which he was a merchant in the boot and shoe business until 1877 at Coldwater,
Mich., when he sold out and afterward went into the wholesale boot and shoe
business at Sherman, Tex., remaining there two years, selling out in 1879. In 1880
he moved to Minneapolis, Minn., with his family, where he connected himself
with the W. S. Nott Company, wholesale rubber boot, shoe, belting and cloth-
ing business, remaining up to the present time; res. Minneapolis, Minn.

Whitefield, N. H., May 12, 1842; m. Oct. 27, 1870, Caroline Child, of Cambridge,
Mass. Amos Kidder Fiske was born in
Whitefield, N. H., May 12, 1842. His
early years were spent partly on a rough
farm in Whitefield and partly in the fac-
tory village of Peterboro, N. H., in pov-
erty and hard work. At the age of 16
he found himself without parents or
guardian and without a dollar, but with
much ambition and little education. He
worked in a cotton mill in Peterboro in
order to earn money to go to school,
and in the spring of i860 went to Apple-
ton Academy, New Ipswich, N. H. By
dint of hard work and study, and ex-
treme energy, earning most of his ex-
penses, was prepared for college in two
years; entered Harvard in 1862, borrow-
mg ^50 to go to Cambridge, and get a
foothold: got through with help of
scholarships and other aids with a little
borrowing, and was graduated in 1866
summa cum laude, being also class poet
of the year. In the autumn of 1866 came
to New York, with borrowed money
and letters of introduction, including
one from George Ticknor to George
Ticknor Curtis. Spent first year mostly
in private tutoring and got even with
the world; then entered law ofiice of
Sargent T. Fay, with which Mr. Curtis
was connected as counsel; was admitted to the bar in a year, in the meantime and
for a year afterward assisting Mr. Curtis in the preparation of his life of Daniel
Webster; did all the collecting, sifting and arranging of material, and preparing it
to the hand of the author, etc.; also became contributor the same year (1867) to the
Annual Cyclopaedia, and kept it up for fifteen years or so. In 1869 abandoned
law for journalism and entered the office of the New York Times in September,
during brief reign of John Bigelow, after the death of Raymond. He was married,
Oct. 27, 1870, to Caroline Child, of Cambridge, Mass., youngest sister of Prof.
Francis J. Child. At the beginning of 1872 he went to the Evening Mail as associ-
ate editor, under the late J. W. Bundy, and in the spring of 1874 to Boston, as lead-
ing editorial writer on the Daily Globe. In 1878 he returned to New York and
joined the stafT of the Times, where he has been ever since, writing editorials. He
has contributed occasionally to Harper's Weekly, and had two or three articles in

written two books, "Midnight Talks at the Club" (Fords, Howard & Hulbert,
1890), and "Beyond the Bourne" (same publishers, 1891). His children were edu-
cated in private schools in New York City until 1888, when his son, Philip Sidney,
b. Sept. 7, 1872, was ready for college. The family then went to Cambridge to
live. The girls entered "Cambridge school," a private institution in charge of
Arthur Gilmer, and devoted to preparing students for the "Harvard Annex," now
RadclifTfe College. His son's health broke down in the fall of 1891, and he took
him on a three months' trip to the south, Cuba, Mexico, and the Pacific coast, after
which he served an apprenticeship in journalism, as a reporter in the Times office
until the summer of 1893, when he returned to college, and completed his course
in June, 1894. For the year past has been working on newspapers in Boston, but
is not definitely settled. His daughter, Annette, born Oct. 13, 1873, entered the
"Annex" (society for the collegiate instruction of women, which became Radclifife
College in 1893-4) in 1890, graduated 1894. magna cum laude, but continued there

He was born in Lunenburg, Vt., and christened and named for the celebrated
Methodist preacher, Wilbur Fisk. When five years of age he moved with parents
to Whitefield, N. H., and remained there until his removal to the west village in
Peterboro in Dec, 1851. Returning to Vermont he remained a short time, and
in the spring of 1857 started west and located in Minnesota. In 1865, in February,
he enlisted in the First Minnesota Heavy Artillery, and went to Chattanooga,
Tenn., where he was stationed; was mustered out of the service at Nashville the
last of September the same year, and was discharged at Fort Snelling Oct. 9, 1865.
He located a claim near Stillwater, Minn., when he first went west, and on his re-
turn from the war went back on his farm where he has since resided. Both his
daughters are advance course graduates of the Minnesota State Normal School at
St. Cloud. They stood very high in their classes and are both now engaged in
teaching; res. Clear Water, Minn.

William Oscar Fiske was son of William Fiske. The brick house in which he was
born was built by his father and is still standing at the corner of Andover and
Fayette Streets. He was educated in the Lowell schools and at the Merrimack
Normal Institute at Reeds Ferry, N. H. His first business experience was with
the produce firm of A. L. Waite & Co., of which he became a member. Subse-
quently he engaged in similar business in Boston, and it was in this pursuit that the
Civil War found him in 1861. He entered the service as First Lieutenant on the
i6th of April of that year, on the staff of Gen. B. F. Butler, and served during the
three months' campaign in the vicinity of Fortress Monroe, and took part in the
engagements at Big Bethel and Hatteras Inlet. The unfortunate dififerences be-
tween Governor Andrew and General Butler during the war will be well remem-
bered by all who were not in their infancy in those days. The Governor refused
to recognize General Butler's appointments and consequently the commission of
First Lieutenant of a company, which the deceased was then given by General
Butler was not recognized by the State; and in the official report of the affair at
Hatteras Inlet, where Captain Fiske swam ashore from the vessel to carry a
despatch from General Butler to the commander of the land forces, he is mentioned
with approbation as "Mr. Fiske of Massachusetts." A contemporary edition of
Harper's Weekly contained an account, with illustration, of this exploit, and the
young hero was thenceforth famous. The papers of that time mention him as the
most distinguished of the Massachusetts men, save Gen. Butler. Returning to
Massachusetts with General Butler, he was appointed Assistant Quartermaster-
General, for the department of New England, with headquarters at Camp Chase
(fair grounds, Lowell). While at home he was presented with a regulation sword,
belt and saddle by his grateful fellow-citizens. Here he remained till the command
was ordered south to the Department of the Gulf. At Ship Island he was trans-
ferred to the command of Gen. George F. Shepley, as Commissary of Subsistence
with the rank of Captain, which was his first recognized commission, after having
served nine months without pay. In this capacity he acted a portion of the time
while General Shepley was Military Governor of Louisiana. During his official
career he was under a West Point officer, who was noted rather for querulousness
than ability, and Captain Fiske, with other officers of the department, was subject
to an investigation, which, in his case, resulted in bringing him very high com-
mendation instead of censure. When General Butler received authority to recrui*t
and raise troops in Louisiana, Captain Fiske was assigned to the United States
barracks, in New Orleans, as Quartermaster and Commissary for that post, which
was the recruiting station of the department. He was subsequently commissioned
as Major of the First Louisiana Regiment, which was the first Union white regi-
ment raised in any of the Confederate States. The regiment took an active part
in most of the engagements in that department. Donaldsonville, Irish Bend, Port
Hudson, Cox's Plantation, Mansura, Francesville, and the battlefields of the Red
River campaign— all were crimsoned with their blood. He was wounded in the
leg while engaged in forcing a landing in the engagement at Irish Bend, Grand
Lake, near Bayou Teche, during the first advance on Port Hudson under General
Banks. Agatnst the advice of the surgeon he left the hospital and went on to the
field. Almost the first thing that met his eye was the dead body of Colonel Hol-
comb, of Connecticut, his own commanding officer, who had been killed while
leading his troops in the brave and famous attempt that was made to storm the
enemy's works that day. Colonel Fiske's brother, Maj. E. A. Fiske, of Lawrence,
took part in same engagement. After this (June 15, 1863) the Lowell boy was
commissioned Colonel, and during the Red River campaign, he commanded the
Second Brigade, Nineteenth Army Corps, a part of the time. An act of special
importance and bravery was his recapture of guns from Gen. Dick Taylor. Dur-
ing his long service he was absent from duty but thirty days. March 13, 1865, he
was breveted Brigadier-General of volunteers for gallant and meritorious conduct.
FISKE GENEALOGY. 607
In all these years of military service his bearing was such as to command the love
of his soldiers and respect of all officers. When he returned to New Orleans on
business after the close of the war he was tendered a banquet at the St. Charles
Hotel, with every mark of respect due to a distinguished person. When he was
mustered out he returned to Lowell and as soon as the congratulations of his
rejoicing friends would allow him. he engaged in business, his first venture being
the southern lumber business, in which the late Josiah B. Fielding was his part-
ner. The firm name was "Fielding & Fiske." This, however, was short-lived,
for in June, 1871, Mr. Fielding having died, the old firm of J. B. Fielding & Co.
was succeeded by the present well-known house of Fiske & Spalding. General
Fiske was a very public-spirited man, though the only civil office he ever held was
that of Councilman in 1869 and 1870. His first rate executive ability made him al-
ways in demand whenever any charitable or social enterprise or public demonstra-
tion of any magnitude was proposed. Besides being a member of Kilwinning
Lodge, F. & A. M., and Pilgrim Commandery, K. T., and of the Loyal Legion, he
was one of the charter members of B. F. Butler Post, No. 42, G. A. R., and was
commander of the post. In 1870 he was junior vice-commander of the department
of Massachusetts, G. A. R. He was appointed Assistant Quartermaster-General
on the staff of Governor Talbot in 1879, and aide-de-camp to Governor Long in
1880, each time with the rank of Colonel. In society he was a favorite, where his
modesty, urbanity, good fellowship and probity were appreciated. Even the above
meager account of his military exploits proves that his was not an ordinary career.
He was born a soldier, and gave ample evidence of all those qualities which go to
make up a successful commander. He won every title that was bestowed upon him,
and that of Brigadier-General is no meaningless compliment. Those who were in
the war will remember with what frequency his name appeared in print in those
days. In his private life he was upright and honorable, and in business he has been
blessed with the same success which characterized his operations upon the field of
battle. He d. Feb. 2, 1886: res. Lowell, Mass.

Nathaniel, Nathaniel, Nathan, Nathaniel, William, Robert, Simon, Simon, William,
Symond), b. Lowell, Mass., Nov. 22, 1838: m. at Lawrence, June 20, 1883, Lizzie
Crosby Dana, b. Jan. 11, 1855. Major Fiske was born in Lowell and there spent
his early days. He was the son of William Fiske, of that city, and a brother of
Gen. W. O. Fiske. When the Civil War broke out deceased was 23 years old, and
was exploring timber lands in Canada, one hundred miles north of Montreal.
Hearing that his country's flag had been assailed by traitor's hands, he set out at
once for home and arriving in Lowell at noon time of a September day, 1861, he
made his way at once to the recruiting office. Here he was rejected, as he was be-
low the required height. That night he sought out a shoemaker and ordered two
thicknesses of leather to be placed on his shoes. Returning next day to the recruit-
ing office, he was again rejected, but seemed so anxious to go to the front that after
a while he was passed and sent to Camp Chase with the nucleus of a regiment.
Company B, to which Private Fiske was attached, had been recruited by Captain
Blanchard. On Sept. 5, 1861, the company was mustered in. Deceased was elected
Second Lieutenant Nov. 27, 1861, and advanced to First Lieutenant Aug. 21, 1862.
The company was made a part of the Thirtieth Massachusetts Regiment and was
dispatched with that regiment for service on the Gulf. On Oct. 21, 1862, Lieutenant
Fiske was promoted to Captain and with his company engaged in service at New
Orleans, and subsequently was ordered up the river to Baton Rouge. During the
siege of Vicksburg his regiment did duty on the river. The rebel gunboat Arkan-
sas was near by and doing a great deal of damage. Two Union gunboats were
ordered in pursuit and Captain Fiske had charge of one, A conflict resulted and
raged for six_ hours. During that time the Captain, pistol in hand, stood by the
pilot house, directing the movement of the gunboat. Men were falling on all sides,
but he bravely held his position until the battle closed. Later his regiment was
ordered up the Red River to join Gen. Banks' expedition. He was placed in
charge of the commissary department but as he was anxious to get to the front
he was placed on General Berge's staff. During the campaign two horses were shot

from beneath him. On the last occasion his horse fell upon his sword and pinned
down, he was compelled to cut his straps and flee for his life. Being sent to Wash-
ington on business, he was granted a furlough home and was presented by friends
with two beautiful swords. Returning to his regiment he took an active partin
the closing engagements of the war, and on Feb. 17, 1865, was breveted Major
for gallant services on the field. His term of services lasted four years and four
months. At the close of the war the Major leased a plantation in South Carolina,
investing several thousand dollars. Sectional hatred was rampant in that locality,
and before the first crop was harvested he sought more peaceful quarters in the
north, being threatened with death if he persisted in remaining. He left for Penn-
sylvania and in 1868 came to Lawrence, where he engaged in the business, which he
conducted in person until disease, which has now caused his death, fastened upon
him two years before. He was a member of the Loyal Legion of Massachusetts, of
Bethany Commandery Knights Templar, and Tuscan Lodge of Masons. He was
commander of Needham Post, Grand Army, in 1870, and was instrumental, more
than any other man, in raising funds for and erecting the beautiful soldiers' monu-
ment on the common. No braver soldier, more discreet and capable oiificer went
from Massachusetts into the service of the country; no truer comrade of the Grand
Army, with deeper, more constant devotion to the interests of all who had defended
the flag, ever lived in that city; no more generous hearted, open handed, public
spirited citizen, has blessed any community; a more unselfish, steadfast, self-sacri-
ficing friend, has not been born or lived in this generation than Major Edward A.

b. Sept. I, 1855. Everett O. Fisk, president of the Fisk Teachers' Agency, now
holds an almost pre-eminent position among those who are advancing the in-
terests of education. In the two years following his graduation from the Wes-
leyan University, Mr. Fisk taught in Connecticut, after which he became New
England agent of the publishing firm of Ginn & Co., a position in which he
gained an enviable reputation for conscientious work. The Fisk Teachers'
Agency was established in Boston, in 1885, and subsequently offices were located
in New York, Chicago, Washington, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, and Toronto.
Through his capacity as president of this organization, Mr. Fisk has become
well known as an educator and has visited every large city in the United States
and Canada, and many important cities in Europe. Mr. Fisk also holds a very
prominent place as a promoter of public welfare in almost all of its departments.
He is president of the Boston Missionary and Church Extension Society, and
also of the Boston Methodist Social Union. He is vice-president of the Evan-
gelistic Association of New England, and is connected in an official capacity with
the Municipal League of Boston, the Boston Y. M. C. A., and the American Peace
Society. Mr. Fisk was a delegate to the general conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, in 1892. He is a member of the Boston Art Club, the Univer-
sity Club of Boston, and the Twentieth Century Club. From the position which
Mr. Fisk holds he has a large field for usefulness. He is a man who has made
the best of his opportunities, and one whom Wesleyan is proud to own as her
son; res. 4 Ashburton PL, Boston, Mass.

DEA. GEORGE BATCHELDEE FISKE.
M. Perry, b. May 17, 1836, dau. of Abel
H. Dea. Geo. Batchelder Fiske, the
third son of Timothy and Lucretia
Batchelder, born in Holliston, Mass. His
early life was spent on the farm, with the
usual benefits of the public schools, and
by his personal efforts was enabled to
pursue a higher education at Mt. Hollis
Seminary, thus fitting himself for active
mercantile life, which he commenced at
the age of 18, with good success. In
1856 he married Ada M. Perry, a suc-
cessful teacher in the public schools, and
had two sons and two daughters. Mr.
Fiske pursued the study of engraving
and printing of bank notes, and being
skilled in the art, he was engaged in
teaching and instructing the bankers and
business men of the cities and towns of
New England in the art of detecting
counterfeit and altered bank notes at
sight. Mr. Fiske has been a member
of the Congregational Church for many
years, and served on all of its official
boards with satisfaction and esteem. In
politics Mr. Fiske has always been a
Republican, and deeply interested in
good government in all things. Early
in life was a strong advocate of the
largest liberty of speech and action to
promote the best results. A strong friend
and admirer of Abraham Lincoln for President; he was appointed as postmaster,
and served two terms, and was elected by the town as treasurer and collector, serv-
ing seven years, with a grand record. As his town recognized good abilities, they
elected him as town clerk, and he served them as such for fifteen years, many
times receiving a unanimous vote. Mr. Fiske was elected a Representative from
this district to the general court, 1880, redeeming the district from his political
opponents, and was re-elected the next year by an increased majority, when he
served both years as clerk of important committees, also using his knowledge of
the business of insurance (which he had acquired from many years of actual
practice) in improving the insurance laws of the State and enacting and establish-
ing a long needed uniform policy of insurance for all companies doing business
in this State. Mr. Fiske has been a member of the school board for many years,
and served as clerk. Also a member of the Holliston, Medway and Millis School
Union for the employment and supervision of it; superintendent of the schools in
said towns, he having been one of the promoters of this excellent plan of pro-
viding a better system of graded schools for the small towns. During the spare
hours of Mr. Fiske's busy life he introduced the business of knitting by machinery
in a small way, which grew to large proportions, employing at times sixty hands
in manufacturing seamless hosiery (the first in this State), knitted goods, and a
specialty of infants' underwear, all of which found ready and profitable sales.
Holliston being an enterprising and progressive town, concluded to advocate and
encourage the building of an electric railway to its larger neighbors, and thus
called a town meeting and elected a committee to proceed for the best interests
of the town, and Mr. Fiske was chosen on the committee and elected as its clerk,
on whom fell the responsible duties of formulating a contract for the town, also
supervising the survey and location of the railway tracks, locating and building car
houses, and whatever was of interest to his town. Mr. Fiske Iseing of a genial
social bearing, a promoter of the good and true, assisted in encouraging the in-
stitution of Mt. Hollis Masonic Lodge, and in 1865 was the first regularly raised
Mason in that lodge, and also proceeded until he became a Sir Knight in the Mil-
ford Commandery, of Massachusetts. Mr. Fiske is a member of the Holliston
Lodge of the Knights of Honor, and a firm believer in great good that has been

done and is being accomplished by this noble order to the widows and families
of its members. Mr. and Mrs. Fiske being firm believers in a higher education
for those who deserve it, that the better the education the better citizen, that the
educated man or woman can obtain a higher position in society and a more lucra-
tive situation in the business world, and acting on that line, have educated their
children accordingly. Mr. Fiske was this year (1896) elected chairman of the
school board by a full vote; res. Holliston, Mass.

tion he occupied two years. He then began active general
practice of medicine and surgery in Fitchburg, Mass., and still
remains there. He is a member of Massachusetts Medical So-
ciety; treasurer of Worcester North District Medical Society,

b. Sept. 6, 1835, at Winchester, N. H., The president and superintendent of the Wason
Manufacturing Company, George C. Fisk, exemplifies in his career the possibilities
of every young man who sets out early in life to accomplish whatever he under-
takes and to pursue that which has in it something worth striving for. Mr. Fisk
was born in Hinsdale. N. H., and he began work in a country store at Hinsdale,
kept by E. W. Hunt and by Amidon & Holland. But selling dry goods and
drawing molasses did not suit his taste as well as working in a shop, so he con-
cluded to try his fortune elsewhere. At 20 years of age, in 1851, he left Hinsdale
for Springfield, carrying with him $15 as his total cash capital with which to
bufYet what might prove to be "the shafts of outrageous fortune." Not meeting
with just what he first desired to engage in, he entered here a dry goods store, but
left that, and tried for a time work in a grocery store. That did not promise to be
any more congenial than what he had experienced at Hinsdale, and not many
months afterward he went west. At Cleveland. O., he stopped to renew the
acquaintance of a friend. He had some rather indefinite promises as to \york. but
as it was not forthcoming he turned book agent, and commenced selling Mrs.
Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin." That venture flourished until a crabbed old fellow
threatened to kick him out of his house if he ever caught him selling any more
616

books to his family, and that suggested to him the propriety of still going farther
west. He went to Beloit, Wis., and looked about the town; but the slipshod way
of conducting business, then characteristic
of all new towns in the west, turned his
thoughts backward to New England. He
found that to succeed in the west capital
was just as necessary as in the east, and
the next thing he did was to return to
Springfield. Eleazer Ripley was about to
begin the manufacture of locomotives,
and he wanted a bookkeeper. While the
machinery was being put in he went home
to Hinsdale to make a desk. Two weeks
later Mr. Ripley sent for him to return.
Mr. Wason was about to go west on a
business trip, and he wanted Mr. Fisk to
act temporarily as bookkeeper for him in
his absence. Mr. Ripley consented, and
what was intended only as a temporary
engagement resulted in permanent em-
ployment. It may be interesting to know
that he commenced with Mr. Wason on a
salary of $i a day. From his first em-
ployment he rose to paymaster as well as
bookkeeper, and in 1854 to a partnership
interest. When the company was incor-
porated, he was made treasurer, and later
still vice-president, and president and gen-
eral manager on the death of Mr. Wason,
which positions he continues to hold. Few
men have shown such tireless energy in the pursuit of business, from the early be-
ginning of the company up to its complete triumph, and have seen so much coming
back in return. Through summer and winter for many years Mr. Fisk
was the first man at the shop, fully knowing that the eye of the master inspired
close attention to the work in hand. If there was a contract to be had, he was
off for it, and back again as quickly as possible, to see that the work was speedily
finished. Wherever he went he carried a tabulated form of cost of work with him,
and if any one wanted an estimate in the middle of the night, he could give it to
him at once. It was this promptness, and giving each what he agreed to give in
the way of finished work, that brought him many thousands of dollars when some
other concerns were running short time. After the shops were located at Bright-
wood — a name given to the locality in honor of Dr. Holland's "Brightwood,"
which is perched upon the eminence to the east of it — Mr. Fisk bought "Bright-
wood" itself of Dr. Holland, who had gone to New York to edit Scribner's
Monthly, now the Century — a home that the genial doctor left with many regrets,
and which Mr. Fisk succeeded to with as lively feelings of personal satisfaction.
It was near his work, and it has a charming outlook among the trees — conspicu-
ous, and often noticed by travelers up and down the Connecticut valley — in its
bright and tasteful colors, harmonizing so completely with the deep green of sur-
rounding foliage of summer months. To give a summary in chronological order
of Mr. Fisk's connection and promotion with the Wason Company it would read:
Entered the office of T. W. Wason, Sept. 8, 1852, at $1 a day; admitted to the firm,
Dec, 1854; elected treasurer, Jan. 17, 1862: elected vice-president, Apr. 14, i86g;
elected president, Feb. 6, 1871. Mr. Fisk has been a hard worker in every sense,
but of late years he has found more time for recreation, though always keeping a
close watch on his large and increasing business. He has given some attention to
the rearing of Holstein stock, and is interested in other kinds of manufacturing,
holding an interest in the Fisk Soap Works, the Springfield Power Company, and
is the owner of a mill for the manufacture of paper at Hinsdale. Some years since
he conceived the plan of building a place for entertainment in Brightwood, and
Fisk's Casino is the result. It was dedicated in 1885, an 1 has si'-ice furnished a place for
amateur theatricals, conducted entirely by home talent. It was built entirely by
Mr. Fisk, and it is, indeed, a charming place, and which is highly appreciated. The
FISKE GENEALOGY. 617
Brightwood Dramatic Club has often given representations worthy those older in
experience, and added much to the rational enjoyment of the neighborhood. The
Casino stands at the corner of Main street and Wason avenue, and is sixty-six
by thirty-seven feet. The interior is finished in hard wood and pleasingly orna-
mented by tasteful decorations; res. Springfield, Mass.

Hinsdale, N. H., and while a small boy -ssisted his father in the manufacture
of soaps. Later he clerked in a country store in his native town. He
remained there four years, and went to Northampton and kept books for
Thayer & Sargent. While in Northampton he was taken sick and obliged
to go home and remain about a year. In the meantime his eldest brother,
George C. Fisk, now president of the Wason Manufacturing Company, had
come to Springfield and was a member of the car manufacturing firm of
Thomas W. Wason & Co., and as soon as Noyes W. was able he came to
Springfield and entered the office of Wason & Co. as bookkeeper. After a
year or so his place there was taken by Henry S. Hyde, now treasurer of the
Wason Manufacturing Company, and he became bookkeeper for E. B. Haskell
& Sons, grocers, and remained with them until he enlisted, in 1862, in Company A,
of the Forty-sixth regiment. When he had served out the term as a private, he
returned to Springfield and started for himself in the grocery and provision
business. In 1867 he sold out and went into the manufacture of lamp black on
the corner of Chestnut and Ringgold streets. He had hardly got well started
in his new venture, when he woke up one morning in Feb., 1868, to find that all
his buildings, except one had been burned and he then sold out what remained
of his business, and May 15, 1868, went into the soap business. This was started in
Hinsdale, in 1857, by Mr. Fisk's father and brother. In 1861, the senior Mr.
Fisk died and William Smith bought his interest in the business. The removal
of the business was then determined upon, and in the spring of 1861, the business
was established. A year or two after the removal Mr. Smith died. The principal
markets for the Fisk Manufacturing Company's goods are in New England, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio, and steady and gratifying growth of
the business is the best possible evidence of the estimation in which the company's
goods are held. Mr. Fisk was for seven years a member of the common council
and has for eleven years been a member of the water commissioners and the only
man connected with the water department who has no salary. He is a director
in the Chicopee National Bank, the Springfield Woodworking Company, the
Hampden Paint Works, and the Masonic Mutual Insurance Company, and is a
trustee of the School for Christian Workers, the Winthrop Club, and Springfield
Commandery of Knights Templar. These positions of public and financial trust
show the estimation in which Mr. Fisk is held by the general and business com-
munity. Mr. and Mrs. Fisk are members of Memorial Church, but since their
removal to Ward Five have attended the First Church, where they are valued
workers; res. Springfield, Mass.

Isaac, John, Nathaniel, Nathan, Nathaniel, William, Robert, Simon, Simon, Will-
iam, Symond), b. EUisburgh, N. Y., Nov. 11, 1831; m. July 14, 1880, Jennie McGraw,
d. Sept. 30, 1881, s. p. When very young he disclosed an uncommon aptitude for
the_ acquisition of languages, and a precocious interest in both literature and
politics. He pursued his school education at Cazenovia Seminary and at Ham-
ilton College, but left that institution in his sophomore year to go abroad and
study the Scandinavian languages. At Copenhagen he enjoyed the friendship of
Prof. Rafu, the distinguished Danish archaeologist. With little aid except some
occasional correspondence with the New York Tribune, he sustained himself
during 1849-52, passing two years in the University of Upsala, giving lessons in
English and lecturing on American literature, and speaking Swedish so well that
he commonly passed with the students for a Swede. In 1852 he returned to New
York and took a place in the Astor Library, where he remained as assistant
until 1859, still pursuing his studies in languages, and in making a collection of
Icelandic books, which soon became the most considerable in this country. So
enthusiastically had he directed his attention to that enlightened island that it
was said that few natives were more familiar with its geography, history, politics,
and literature than he. In 1859-60 he was general secretary of the American
Geographical Society. In 1861-2 he was again abroad, and attached to the Ameri-
can legation at Vienna, under Minister John Lothrop Motlev. Returning, he was
editor of the Daily Journal, of Syracuse, N. Y., in 1864-6, and through 1867 had
charge of the Hartford (Conn.) Courant, from which he was called in 1868, after
another extensive tour abroad, which embraced Egypt and Palestine, to the pro-
fessorship of the north European languages, and the place of chief librarian, at
Cornell University. In his unremitting labors for years in the classroom, as libra-
nan and as director of the university press, no inconsiderable degree of the success
of the institution is due. During this time he took a deep interest in the reform
of the civil service, and was a most influential writer and lecturer in its behalf. In
1879 he was again abroad for five months, and visited Iceland. He had been a prin-
cipal promoter in this country of the contribution of a library on the celebration of
the national millennium, and upon his arrival he was the guest of the nation and
accorded honors seldom, if ever, given before by one nation to a private citizen
of another. His health failing from his severe application to college duties, he
went abroad again in 1880. In that year, in Berlin, he married Miss Jennie Mc-
FISKE GENEALOGY. 61^
Graw, of Ithaca, N. Y., who died in Sept., 1881. In 1881 he resigned his offices
at Cornell and took up his permanent residence in Florence, Italy. Although his
chief work had been that of a scholar and bibliopole, he has been a voluminous
contributor to various Swedish, Icelandic and German journals, and to the
American press. He was one of the famous chess tournament of 1857, and in
conjunction with Paul Morphy, edited the "American Chess Monthly" in 1857-60,
and compiled the "Book of the American Chess Congress" (New York, 1859).
He has edited various university publications, such as the "Ten-Year Book of
Cornell," the "Register," etc., and many bibliographical publications, such as
the "University Library Bulletin," the "Bibliographia Psiupsilonica," etc. He
was one of the chief promoters of the chapter-house system in the Greek letters
societies. He is now engaged in completing his two private book collections,
one relating to Petrarch, the other to Icelandic history and literature — the most
considerable collections in existence relating to those subjects — and is printing
privately a series of "Bibliographical Notices" illustrating his collections. Prof.
Fiske has received the degree of A. M. from Hamilton and that of Ph. D. from
Cornell; res. San Domenico, Villa Lawdcr, Florence, Italy.

family of eight children. But two of these survive him — Mrs. Horatio Gard-
ner, of East Holliston, and Mrs. Willard Howe, of South Framingham. As a
boy Capt. Fisk was a hard worker. He graduated from the Framingham high
school, and in i860 went to work for William H. Brackett, at Newton, Mass.,
in the provision business. Soon after he was elected constable of the town. He
was the only policeman in Newton at that time, and was the first man to hold

CAPT. JOHN MURRAY FISK
such a position there. He Uved in New-
ton twenty-four years. In 1872 he was
appointed deputy sheriff, which position
he held for twelve years. In May, 1884
he was appointed special sheriff for
High Sheriff Gushing, and placed in
charge of the Middlesex .county house
of correction, East Cambridge, which po-
sition he held until his death. Capt.
Fisk married Caroline E. Morgan,
daughter of John Morgan, of West Ded-
ham. She survives him. One child was
born to them. She is Mrs. George D.
Ford, wife of Capt. Fisk's able assistant.
Capt. Fisk was a thirty-second degree
Mason, and a member of many secret
societies, among them Newton Blue
Lodge, Royal Arch, Cambridge Gom-
mandery, Royal Arcanum, Ancient and
Honorable Artillery and Mystic Shrine.
He was also a member of the Colonial
Club. By his death Middlesex county
loses one of the most efificient ofificers it
has ever had and the prisoners who have
come under his charge will miss a good
friend. The sentiment of the whole
community is expressed in the tribute
paid Capt. Fisk recently by Representa-
tive John H. Ponce, who said to a Globe
reporter: "As a deputy sheriff Capt.
Fisk was a universal favorite with the
lawyers of Middlesex county. He was prompt and reliable in the service of the
processes of the courts, and was looked upon as authority on many mooted ques-
tions. He was especially kind and helpful to young attorneys. Since he has been
master of the house of correction there has been no word of complaint as to the
management of the institution or the treatment of prisoners. While keeping them
in the closest custody, he has been most humane in his treatment of them. He was
highly respected by the judges of the county. His acts of private charity among
the poor in East Cambridge were numerous, and his death is spoken of with
great sorrow by the people in his district." He d. May 3, 1896; res. East Gam-

14, 1850. Edwin B. Fiske, the eldest of three children born to Oliver J. Fiske and
Maria L. (Brown) Fiske. The subject of our sketch was born in Rutherford
County and in the State of Tennessee. At the age of 14 his parents removed to
Bloomington, 111. He worked on his father's farm during the summer and in the
winter went to school. When the State Normal University was located at Bloom-
ington he was one of the first to enroll his name as a student in that institution.
Before graduating he made up his mind that he would obtain a collegiate education
and went to Providence, R. I., and entered the high school in that city, from which
FISKE GENEALOGY. 621
he graduated. He then entered Brown University; while there the War of the
Rebellion broke out and he enlisted in Company B, Tenth Regiment Rhode Island
Volunteers. His health broke down and he was honorably discharged and entered
college again, but owing to ill health contracted while in the army he was not able
to continue his studies and went to Chicago, where he found a position in the
employ of William B. Keen & Co., as a commercial traveler. On the restoration of
his health he entered the Law School at Albany, N'. Y., and graduated from that
school in May, 1865. He then commenced the practice of law in the city of Syra-
cuse, N. Y., in partnership with Irving G. Vann, who is now a Judge of the Court
of Appeals in that State. While in that city he married Frances J. Price, of Avon,
N. Y. His practice in the law was quite lucrative, but owing to close application
to business his health became once more impaired and he removed to Perry, N. Y.
His practice here was not so lucrative as it was in the city, but it was far more
beneficial to his health. While in Perry his wife died (Mar. 19, 1873). In the fol-
lowing fall he removed to Rochester, N. Y., where he now resides. In 1875 he
married Priscilla M. Westlake, of Perry, N. Y. He has one son by his second wife.
Edwin Westlake Fiske, born on the 19th day of Dec, 1876, and who is now attend-
ing Rochester University. Mr. Fiske has always taken quite an interest in politics,
though not a politician in the strict sense of the word. An ardent Republican and
in every presidential campaign takes the stump for the nominees of that party. He
is a member of the Baptist Church and held quite a number of offices in that church
Superintendent of the Sunday school; deacon and trustee — the last two he now
holds in the Lyell Avenue Baptist Church at Rochester. He is interested in quite
a number of enterprises of a local character and also in mining operations in Brit-

Ella O. Hersey, b. Jan. 19, 1848. He was born at East Boston. When quite young
his parents moved to Readfield, Me., and afterward to North Whitefield, Me. His
life up to the age of 13 was as usual to boys brought up in the country. When 13
years of age he went to work for a hardware firm in Gardiner, Me., and remained
with them several years. At the age of 17 he went to California, crossing the
Isthmus, twenty-six days en route; remained four years and six months in Califor-
nia; returned to his mother's home in Searsmont, Me., in 1871. During the year he
went into the wholesale hay business at Gardiner, Me., remaining until 1872, when
he went to Lewiston, Me., and bought a drug store; continued the business until
1875, when the fever for traveling (and seeing new lands) got possession of him.
He sold his drug business and started for the west in 1876, landing in Minneapolis,
Minn., in midsummer; followed various vocations for a year or mv^*^, when he
finally took up his present specialty, the treatment of rectal diseases, in 1877. He
remained there one year, under instructions of one Dr. Steele, one of Minneapolis'
best physicians. He practiced for a while in Kalamazoo, Mich.; finally returned to
Maine in 1878; located in Auburn and remained in practice there until 1889, when he
finally moved to his present location, Lewiston, Me. He has visited the city of
Portland regularly every Saturday for the past twelve years; has had a lucrative
practice there during that time, and has built up a practice throughout the entire
state that is very gratifying to him; res. 332 Main St., Lewiston, Me.

its excellent accommodations and has an immense patronage. Mr. Fiske has
added to his house the present year. It is three stories high. He never has been

Dorr, b. Nov. 20, 1858. His mother was a daughter of Job Graves, a native of
Deerfield, Franklin County, Mass., and a descendant of the early settlers in the
colonies. Therefore his ancestors were strictly of New England descent and of the
oldest families of New England, and his grandfathers both partook of the charac-
teristics of the New England people. He has often made the statement that of all
the men he has ever known, he has not known of better men than his grandfathers.
After his father was killed in the army, with his mother and younger brother he
removed to Franklin I'ownship, Lenawee County, Mich., where he attended coun-
try schools. These, supplemented by two years in the village schools at Clinton,
in the same county, and one year at Adrian College, in the same county, completed
his preparatory education. He taught country schools for three years, and after-
ward, at the age of 20, entered the law office of Alfred Russell, of Detroit, Mich.
After eighteen months' study he was admitted to the bar and practiced common
law for five years, after which he took up the study and later the practice of patent
law, of which he now makes a specialty. In the fall of 1894 he was nominated by
the Republican party in Detroit as one of ten Representatives from the city at large
in the State Legislature; he was recognized as one of the leaders of the House, and
his services to his constituents is indicated in the newspaper notices of the day. He
is about five feet ten inches in height, and weighs about 250 pounds. He has al-
ways been a Republican in politics, as were his father and grandfather before him.
His grandfather had liberal ideas in religious matters. His father was a member of
the Congregational Church, but he has never affiliated with any church, and has
been considered liberal in his views. One of the Detroit papers in referring to
the Representatives in the Legislature said of Hon. Chas. H. Fisk: "Fisk bore
himself all through as the opponent of such methods as those which led to the
eternal disgrace of that body, and he. took the side of the people as against that
of the corporations. In all things he acted well, but he was only a drop in an
ocean most of the time. A really strong man, an honest man, a man of good infor-
mation and some undoubted ambition to occupy higher political station, he was the
one member of the delegation from Detroit who can be said to have made the most
favorable impression at the capital." Res. Detroit, Mich.; add. 42 Hodges Block,
